  If you installed Postgres via Homebrew, you need to configure bundler so that when it installs the pg gem, it knows where to find the pg_config executable, which is installed as part of Postgres. The pg gem is the Ruby interface to Postgres and requires pg_config during installation. We can use this command to configure bundler so that it can find it and successfully install pg.

  Before we proceed, are you aware that a lot of popular database drivers for Ruby (and Python? not sure) implement the performance-critical bits in good old natively compiled C?

  (I wasn't sure until I checked just now, so I'm not questioning your familiarity with the tech. Just not sure if that's commonly known)

      So no, it's not the database, it's your interpreted language.

  The low level pg gem has support for Postgres streaming, but this is row-based. You're wanting to stream effectively from a single field, which Postgres won't do for you.

  The GVL isn't automatically released when a thread blocks on IO. Each bit of native code performing IO has to explicitly release it like in the pg gem here: https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/blob/fb465855ce1dd12cf7eb69c9...
