We want to write a paper on the vast extensions ecosystem for Postgres at some point. It's on my TODO list for 2023.
Having so many plug-ins/add-ons available is unique to Postgres and due to Stonebraker's original vision of including extensibility as a first-class design principle in the DBMS.
- dang 4y agoI didn't know that and it would make for an interesting historical article in its own right.
- whitepoplar 4y agoIn doing so, it would be great if you could provide details around extension safety. I've heard that some extensions may not play nicely in combination with others, and it would be really nice to know how one is to vet extensions for use in production.
