    Discontinued Build Postgres Extensions with Rust! [Moved to: https://github.com/tcdi/pgrx] (by tcdi)

  • The extension is still WIP but for those of ya'll that like Rust it's built on pgx which has excellent DX. The rust involved isn't complicated -- I'm basically laundering the functionality from other crates that are listed in the README.md.

  • pg-xid

    pg-xid is a globally unique id generator for postgres

  • If I only need/want xid, how this compares to https://github.com/modfin/pg-xid ?

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
