FDWs are a powerful feature. We’ve done a lot of work to make scaffolding them easier, if you use sgr. One of our earlier blog posts includes an example of making an FDW for the HN API and packaging it as a Splitgraph mount handler. [0]
There’s also this great post about using FDWs for parallel query execution, by David Grier at Swarm64. [1] They seem to be doing cool things with FDWs too.
Personally I think proxies are a really powerful abstraction in general. Cloudflare and Twilio are two examples of companies built around proxies.

- touisteur 6y agoThanks for both links! I'm not sure where you're going with this product, but I like the idea of proxies and your idea of a DDN, and I wish you the best. I'm trying to 'bind them all' at my job right now and Postgres is very inspiring with its extension success stories, and all the FDW work happening. And once you can bind to C, you can mostly chose your language :-)
