  • Write Postgres functions in Rust
    3 projects | /r/rust | 5 Apr 2023
    It uses pgx (https://github.com/tcdi/pgx) which is our more generalized framework for developing Postgres extensions with Rust.
  • Why not Rust for Omnigres?
    2 projects | dev.to | 6 Jan 2023
    It's a great question, considering I've been using Rust for a number of years now, and I generally advocate its use for its rich ecosystem, safety and tooling. I actively contribute to pgx, a library for building Postgres extensions in Rust. Yet, Omnigres appears to be all done in C.
  • Supabase Wrappers: A Framework for Building Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers
    14 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Dec 2022
    Our release today is a framework which extends this functionality to other databases/systems. If you’re familiar with Multicorn[1] or Steampipe[2], then it’s very similar. The framework is written in Rust, using the excellent pgx[3].

    We have developed FDWs for Stripe, Firebase, BigQuery, Clickhouse, and Airtable (all in various “pre-release” states). The plan is to focus on the tools we’re using internally while we stabalize the framework.

    There’s a lot in the blog post into our goals for this release. It’s early, but one of the things I’m most excited about.

  • Apache Age, a PostgreSQL Extension with Graph Database Functionality

  • Postgres FTS vs the new wave of search engines
    3 projects | /r/PostgreSQL | 14 Oct 2022
    BTW one nice easter egg is that with pgx there is actually no reason that we can't build even better search solutions inside the database itself.
  • Postgres Full Text Search vs. the Rest
    21 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 14 Oct 2022
    > That thread led me to a project/product idea where you take an existing Postgres instance used for normal products or whatever, replicate it to various read only clusters with a custom search extension loaded and some orchestrator sitting on top (I’ve written most of one in rust that uses 0mq to communicate with it’s nodes) and create drop in search from existing databases with a nice guided web gui for automatic tuning suitable for most business use cases.

    Very interesting idea -- just want to add one thing, write it in rust (with pgx?[0]) :)

  • Show HN: pg_idkit, a Postgres extension for generating exotic UUIDs
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Sep 2022
    Hey HN,

    It turns out choosing a good database-optimized UUID (and deciding whether to use serial, etc) isn't quite so simple, and I finally got a chance to do some exploration, write about it[0].

    One of the reasons Postgres is the best open source database out there is it's extensibility -- so I hacked up a small extension for generating some of the more exotic (but crucially, lexicograhically sortable) UUID generation mechanisms:

    https://github.com/t3hmrman/pg_idkit

    This idea has been bumbling around my head for a while, but I finally got a chance to build it while working with Supabase on a post about IDs[0]!

    Most of the heavy lifting is done by pgx[1] which is an amazing framework for building Postgres extensions in Rust. I think we are very early to the trend of amazing postgres extensions built in Rust, and it's yet another reason that it's an exciting time to be all-in on Postgres.

  • Introducing pg_idkit: an extension for generating lexicographically sortable UUIDs (UUIDv6-8, CUID, Timeflake) in Postgres
    2 projects | /r/PostgreSQL | 9 Sep 2022
    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.
  • GitHub - supabase/pg_jsonschema: PostgreSQL extension providing JSON Schema validation
    2 projects | /r/PostgreSQL | 23 Jul 2022
    Seems to be using this: https://github.com/tcdi/pgx
  • Show HN: Pg_jsonschema – A Postgres extension for JSON validation
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Jul 2022
    - https://github.com/furstenheim/is_jsonb_valid

    pgx[0] is going to be pretty revolutionary for the postgres ecosystem I think -- there is so much functionality that can be utilized at the database level and I can't think of a language I want to do it with more than Rust.
