ParadeDB/pg_search developer here. Yes, we started the project before LLMs. Moreover, our project is now much more than just full-text search. I do agree with the sentiment here that many of the other FTS-in-Postgres projects in recent

As a Canadian, I find this unbelievably good news. Canada, the EU, and other middle powers need to unite. Stronger together, while preserving what makes each country unique.

The notion that "every human interaction is worth preserving" is probably not right, and Waymos are showcasing this. As the author mentions, many people don't enjoy the forced small talk with Uber drivers. Interacting with pe

You're right that vanilla Postgres doesn't come close to replacing Elastic. There are efforts to resolve this, though, like ParadeDB: https://github.com/paradedb/paradedb (disclaimer: I work for ParadeDB)

Let's go. Very bullish on PgDog. Lev understands this space better than anyone else. If you are sharding Postgres, you should talk to him.

I've been wanting this for so long. This is so clever. Slightly concerned Apple would patch this by preventing others from using the same bundle identifier as their official apps, though?

Writing code was never the job. Writing code was always a means to the job. This is why people hire "software engineers", not merely "programmers".

ParadeDB maintainer here :). We would happily make it available on Azure (and all other cloud providers!) if there were a way for us to earn a living in doing so. Fyi, we are in discussion with some hyperscalers on making this possible.

This a 100 times^. The Postgres ecosystem is remarkable and has managed to strike the balance between OSS and commercial successes in a way that most infra verticals have not.

We (ParadeDB) use Barman via CloudNativePG for almost all our deployments. It's been solid, although I've had a few complaints about 1) inability to set S3 storage classes, 2) slow upload for very large databases. Nonetheless, ver

Under the hood, ParadeDB is built by integrating Tantivy (a Lucene-inspired Rust search library) inside Postgres. This is to say: I agree with you -- We're not trying to claim that Postgres itself is an alternative to Lucene, but rathe
