Just Use Postgres for Everything

1. postgrest

   1 112 25,462 9.6 Haskell

   REST API for any Postgres database

   

   I love postgres for most things but these days (Especially while my product is in development, embedded, or just not internet-facing) sqlite is amazingly workable.

   Killer postgres features however: Row-level security (Amazing when you're using something like postgrest for rapid application development [1]), and its built in fulltext search engine is 'good enough' for use cases like when you have an enormous users table and need to index something simple enough, like email addresses for quick login.

3. pg_auto_failover

   Postgres extension and service for automated failover and high-availability

   

4. ApacheKafka

   3 137 36 0.0

   A curated re-sources list for awesome Apache Kafka

   

   Messaging is the first use-case given by the Kafka docs [1] and is the first core capability they mention on the Kafka landing page [2].

   2. https://kafka.apache.org/

   I think use (and think of) Kafka as a message bus, with distributed commit logging being the mechanism for how it accomplishes that task.

5. postgres-operator

   4 38 4,766 8.0 Go

   Postgres operator creates and manages PostgreSQL clusters running in Kubernetes

   

   My favorite route right now is running a postgres operator on Kubernetes & letting it do all the work for me.

   Zalando's operator use Patroni under the hood, to create a cluster over streaming replication. It also has Spilo, which orchestrates pg_basebackup or WAL-E for point-in-time backup. https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator#postgresql-feat...

   CrunchyData operator seems to have built their own streaming replication system coordinated by Raft. https://access.crunchydata.com/documentation/postgres-operat...

6. citus

   5 73 11,554 9.2 C

   Distributed PostgreSQL as an extension

   

   As always: it depends. For some workloads something like Citus [1] might allow you stay within the PostgreSQL ecosystem even when you are trying to do OLAP.
