Can… but how long until they actually do provide it?
I’m a big fan of PostgreSQL and it’s constantly an annoyance to find cool new capabilities provided by extensions I can never use since I’m not going to manage my own database in a critical environment for a lot of reasons… I’ve done it before, I know how hard it is to do well, and I don’t want this to be my job anymore… so when I find cool stuff like vector search or graph traversals but can never use them it’s just a constant disappointment.
Does this “trusted” state actually translate into greater adoption by cloud providers or is it just something the developers behind this effort hope will happen?
- kiwicopple 3y agoWe are launching something with the RDS team this week that will make it very easy to install your own extensions that are written in Trusted Languages. We will share more on Friday. In terms of pl/rust becoming available on RDS and supabase: months. It’s going through security audits now
- ttfkam 3y agoIt will be very hard for other database engines to keep up if this gets implemented by cloud vendors. MySQL would get marginalized further and further not just in the relative lack of SQL features, but all the easily available add-ons the community will inevitably write for Postgres with no viable answer from its competition.
- techdragon 3y agoWonderful! I’ll be checking for news on Friday. Thanks for replying, otherwise I’d probably not have noticed till a couple months from now when I next check the AWS service feature release news.
- rywalker 3y agopl/rust will be available on CoreDB when we launch, along many other popular and interesting Postgres extensions. We’re a new company, closed beta - but join our waitlist @ https://coredb.io https://coredb.io if you’d like a shot at early access
