POSTGRES

A practical look at the operational Postgres guide that hit the HN front page - what it gets right, what the community pushed back on, and what every startup should internalize about running Postgres in production.

A Rust reimplementation of PostgreSQL now passes all 46,000+ queries in the Postgres regression suite. Here is what the project actually delivers, what it does not, and why the HN discussion reveals deeper questions about AI-assisted rewrites.

Pricing deadlines, infrastructure funding, a banking prompt injection case, and a 4x speed breakthrough - June 10 was one of the densest single days the AI dev tool market has ever produced.

Neon's branching model, serverless driver, and scale-to-zero autoscaling make it one of the most practical Postgres hosts for teams building AI agents and preview-heavy apps. Here is what you need to know before committing.

PgDog raised $5.5M to bring transparent Postgres sharding and connection pooling to any stack. Here is what it actually does, how it compares to PgBouncer and Citus, and the honest answer to whether you need it.

InsForge is trending because coding agents can scaffold UI faster than they can safely operate databases, auth, storage, functions, and deployments. The backend now needs an agent-readable control plane.

TypeScript ORM with a schema-first workflow. Prisma Client gives full type safety; Prisma Migrate handles migrations. Works with Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB.
