context + claim

postgres as a graph database shifts the center of gravity toward a new default. My claim: this is a habit-forming change, not a one-off event. If teams internalize the behavior, the market follows.

causal chain

Trigger workflow adjustment new default, because habits are stickier than roadmaps. New default platform leverage narrowing options for smaller teams.

counter-model

my take

I am leaning cautious: treat the change as real, but do not calcify it until the operational story holds.
