pg_jsonschema VS postgres-operator

And lots of interesting extensions use it, like

https://github.com/tembo-io/pgmq

https://github.com/zombodb/zombodb

https://github.com/supabase/pg_jsonschema

> In other words, there is still a (lossy) translation layer, it just happens to be in the RDBMS rather than in-app.

It's not lossy if your application can guarantee a json <-> datatype roundtrip and the json is validated with jsonschema (generated by your application)

In Rust it's something like this

https://serde.rs/ to do the data type <-> json mapping

https://docs.rs/schemars/latest/schemars/ to generate jsonschema from your types

https://github.com/supabase/pg_jsonschema to validate jsonschema in your database (postgres). with this setup it's interesting (but not required) to also use https://docs.rs/jsonschema/latest/jsonschema/ to validate the schema in your application

Pretty exciting!

What about optionally validating some columns with jsonschema? Perhaps using https://github.com/supabase/pg_jsonschema - is using other postgres extensions supported in FerretDB? (if not, maybe it's feasible to incorporate the code of pg_jsonschema in FerretDB?)

I'm not currently using it, but I'm strongly considering validating json in postgres with https://github.com/supabase/pg_jsonschema - which uses the https://docs.rs/jsonschema/latest/jsonschema/ Rust crate

So I'm not sure if my feedback is valid but, I sure hope that the jsonschema crate follows the spec! Otherwise I'll never use jsonschema but instead something-not-exactly-jsonschema. In other words.. you better not break anything.

Sounds dumb, but I want JSON field schema validation. I added a JSON column for flexible data, and although I'm happy with its flexibility, I kinda hope I can validate the JSON data structure. Recently I just found an extension [1] and will try soon.

https://github.com/supabase/pg_jsonschema is new and looks good

Born as an excuse to play with pgx, pg_jsonschema is a solution we're exploring to allow enforcing more structure on json and jsonb typed postgres columns. Only 10 lines of code 😎

yes, precisely. It's UI part that's broken, which cannot list snapshots. Issue is here, no fix since 2020, sadly: https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator/issues/937

I personally like the Zalando operator better, you can add databases and users by updating the CRD, feature parity between the two on HA is pretty good

https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator

one of the solutions which made it pretty simple for us to run postgresql in a ha environment (mostly in k8s, but works standalone as well) is zalandos patroni: https://github.com/zalando/patroni it's really solid and worked for us for a few years already.

or for k8s their operator: https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator (docker image: https://github.com/zalando/spilo) we've also tried other operators which were easier to get started, but they failed miserably (crunchyrolls operator is basically based on the zalando one)

git clone https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator.git cd postgres-operator

Zalando / Postgres-Operator

Somewhere between here and here i found out about that.

Here's an example of using the PostgreSQL Operator to deploy a high availability PostgreSQL cluster in Kubernetes. In this example, I'll be using the PostgreSQL Operator from Zalando [https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator] to deploy a PostgreSQL cluster with two nodes.

Here's the operator for a postgres cluster: https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator

And that repo you linked to has 1846 issues, 161 open. Which doesn't seem extraordinary based on my limited exposure to k8s.

Another example: https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator/issues with 445 open issues. Why?

Maybe I'm wrong and this is all a good sign of progress, but my impression is that the entire k8s ecosystem is held together with reused duct tape.
