How much of the performance gain is from using Rust, compared to using optimizations that are not done in the original PostgreSQL code (like using threads instead of processes, etc.)?
I am simply curious what the benefits of using Rust are in this instance.
I am not considering it at all. I am simply curious if switching to Rust has any significant performance benefits or not.
How is the performance compared to regular PostgreSQL?
I know it says it is not performance optimized yet, but if this succeeds, will it only bring more "memory safety" or is there a serious performance gain as well?
If you wanted to learn how to setup your own Kuberbetes cluster I found EasyK3S https://easyk3s.dev/ to be a good place to learn the basics.
It is not perfect, but a good place to start to get a hang of how to setup your own K8S setup if you are new to Kubernetes.

What are typical bracket for software engineer as junior, 3 years, and 5 years of experience?
For Oslo the salary range is something like this, a bit lower in smaller cities. These are the "typical" brackets, but you can definitively get a lot more:
- 0 YOE - €45k-€60k
- 3 YOE - €55k-€90k
- 5 YOE - €70k-€150k and up
A "median" salary in Oslo for a developer with 3-8 YOE is around €70k-80k. Anyone who has 5 YOE and actually asks for a higher salary can easily get 1 million NOK or €90k++.
Expect a 32%-38% tax rate on your income.
If you earn 1 million NOK (€85k) you will pay €27k in tax.
Here is the tax calculator from the official tax office: https://skattekalkulator.app.skatteetaten.no/
EDIT: Here is an article in Norwegian about software developer salaries. It shows about the same numbers as mine, just a lower ceiling.

if anyone wants to help me land my first gig over in Oslo, I'm conviniently next-next door in Finland
I made a website to help non-norwegian speakers find a tech/it/software job in Norway. All the job posts should be in English and only a few jobs require some Norwegian knowledge.
If you know Java, .NET or JavaScript/Typescript there are a lot of well(-enough) paid jobs in Norway.
