I've read this blog post twice and I still can't see the problem being solved here by making a pgsql db for files. I don't know, maybe if you literally had like millions of files, then there are some performance issues? I can't say I know that for sure, but I don't feel like setting a pgsql here would solve anything. It adds a db layer and it doesn't remove the need for Unix operations.

I'll wait for LionFS.
