PostgreSQL Extensibility
Relational databases are known to have tightly integrated components that make them hard to extend. This usually leads to specialized databases being either built from scratch or forked from the original project.
For several releases now, PostgreSQL has been providing official APIs to extend the database without forking it. Users can read the documentation, implement their ideas, and then dynamically load in their shared object to override or extend any database submodule.
We believe PostgreSQL's extensibility is a game-changer for the database industry. In this keynote, we'll show examples of key features and specialized databases built using the extension APIs. We'll then share our experiences in using these APIs and conclude with a way for the future.
