Ask HN: HTTP extension for Postgres
Are there any HTTP or Web Socket extension for Postgres.
The intent is to use PG as Web Application Server + DB.
If it is not already there how can I create extension using any C server libraries ? Is it possible ?
- tango12 8y agoI’m not sure about a Postgres extension. It might be a problem for a Postgres server to handle a large number of http connections in fact, so I’m not sure. We’ve built https://hasura.io https://hasura.io which is an open source web service on top of Postgres. It uses GraphQL on the HTTP API. Postgrest is a similar solution with rest APIs.
- detaro 8y agoI don't think it exists as an extension (and neither I'm sure that's a good idea), but there's projects for providing HTTP APIs to Postgres: https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest https://github.com/prest/prest https://github.com/prest/prest
