Pg-extend-rs – Easy Postgres extensions in Rust

In plain words

Pg-extend-rs is a development tool that enables developers to write PostgreSQL extensions using Rust instead of C. It simplifies the process of creating custom database functionality by providing a Rust-based framework for extension development. The tool is designed for Rust developers who want to build PostgreSQL extensions without working directly with C, making it accessible to those more familiar with modern systems programming languages.

  Pg_jsonschema – A Postgres extension for JSON validation2022 · github.com · ▲203

  pg_jsonschema is a solution we're exploring to allow enforcing more structure on json and jsonb typed postgres columns. We initially wrote the extension as an excuse to play with pgx, the rust framework for writing postgres extensions. That let us lean on existing rust libs for validation (jsonschema), so the extension's implementation is only 10 lines of code :) https://github.com/supabase/pg_jsonschema/blob/fb7ab09bf6050... happy to answer any questions!

  PRQL in PostgreSQL2024 · github.com · ▲267

  This extension let's you write PRQL functions in PostgreSQL. When I first saw PRQL on Hacker News a few months ago, I was immediately captivated by the idea, yet equally disappointed that there was no integration for PostgreSQL. Having previous experience with writing PostgreSQL extensions in C, I thought this was a great opportunity to try out the pgrx framework and decided to integrate PRQL with PostgreSQL myself. The maintainers of both PRQL and pgrx were very nice to work with. Thanks guys.

  Talanoa▲341

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
