I don't want to hijack Datadogs+Quickwit's post comment section with unrelated promotional-looking info. Quick summary below but if you have any other questions pls tag olirice in a Supabase GH discussion.

The OrioleDB storage engine for postgres is a drop-in replacement for the default heap method. Its takes advantage of modern hardware (e.g. SSDs) and cloud infrastructure. The most basic benefit is that throughput at scale is > 5x higher than heap [1], but it also is architected for a bunch of other cool stuff [2]. copy-on-write unblocks branching. row-level-WAL enables an S3 backend and scale-to-zero compute. The combination of those two makes it a suitable target for multi-master.

So yes, given that it could greatly improve performance on the platform, it is a goal to release in Supabase's primary image once everything is buttoned up. Note that an OrioleDB release doesn't take away any of your existing options. Its implemented as an extension so users would be able to optionally create all heap tables, all orioledb tables, or a mix of both.
