  Postgres as a Platform

  

I've been writing Postgres extensions for a few years now (mostly in C and Python), and I have to say that an important contribution from companies like Tembo and Omnigres is in the area of tooling and boilerplate. From workflows to Dockerfiles [0], that's important for the future of Postgres.

This has been discussed in the past [1], but the Postgres tooling ecosystem has been primarily C-Makefile—mailing list driven, and there used to be a lot of Makefile targets copy-pasting. Whenever major Postgres providers wanted to open source some of their extensions / sub-products. I still feel, however, that a lot of Postgres C-know-how is being slowly forgotten / lost, and I think it will be necessary again soon. Internal things as how Postgres handles varlena, StringInfo, JsonbValue, etc. The core abstractions that make Postgres work.
