Question 1

Is AWS S3 or Postgres better?

Accepted Answer

Postgres scores 74.0 and AWS S3 scores 24.0 on the tashan score, which measures upkeep and freshness gated by real adoption. Neither number is a security audit and neither can be bought. The gap is wide enough to be decisive.

Question 2

Are AWS S3 and Postgres safe to install?

Accepted Answer

AWS S3: no known advisories. Postgres: no known advisories, runs an install script, no build provenance. Every capability tashan measures is checked against the OSV advisory database at the version you would install today, for install-time scripts and for build provenance. The audit reads public evidence and never executes anything.

Question 3

How were these two compared?

Accepted Answer

Both were measured on the same day by the same scorer, from public signal only — npm download volume and publish cadence, repository activity, maintainer count and registry status. Nobody can pay to change a score, a rank or a listing.

	AWS S3	Postgres	what it means
tashan score	24	74	upkeep + freshness, gated by adoption
Adoption evidence	1k/wk	2k/wk	the raw public signal the score came from
Last release	abandoned	active	npm publish or repo push
Upkeep	37	86	cadence, maintainers, status
Expertise grade	not graded	solid	an LLM read of its own documentation against a fixed rubric
Security audit	no known advisories	no known advisories, runs an install script, no build provenance	a summary — the full audit, free, is on each dossier
Licence	—	AGPL-3.0
Maintainers	one primary	more than one	bus-factor risk
