We're Sequin, an open source message stream like Kafka, but built on Postgres. Like any Postgres maxi, we tend to find ourselves down a Postgres rabbit hole a couple times per month. This is one of those times :) Who doesn't like to go a little overboard with Postgres? Extensions like

Full Text Search on PDFs With Postgres
With all these LLMs flying around, PDFs have become popular data sources again. Wait, can a blob of binary be considered a data source, just because human eyes can interpret it visually? Well, no. Unless you can run SQL queries on top of them. This post discusses that.

Flying free: a tale of partitioning with canaries in PostgreSQL—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog
This canary-based partitioning strategy is a safer, more controlled way to handle large-scale database partitioning and query optimization. Get real-time statistics and gradual optimization, reducing the risks with traditional partitioning processes.

Optimizing Postgres table layout for maximum efficiency
Optimizing Postgres table layout for maximum efficiency
Introduction When modeling a Postgres database, you probably don’t give much thought to the order of columns in your tables. After all, it seems like the kind of thing that wouldn’t affect storage or performance. But what if I told you that simply reordering your columns could reduce the size of your tables and indexes by 20%? This isn’t some obscure database trick — it’s a direct result of how Postgres aligns data on disk.\n

Debunking 6 common pgvector myths
Debunking 6 common pgvector myths
This blog post debunks six common myths surrounding pg_vector, a popular Postgres extension for storing and querying vectors, which is often misunderstood. It clarifies that while vector indexes can enhance performance, they are not always necessary, and different types of vector indexes serve distinct purposes. The post also addresses misconceptions about the limitations on vector dimensions, the evolving nature of pg_vector, and its compatibility with sparse vectors like BM25. Through practical examples, the post highlights how pg_vector offers flexibility in vector storage and retrieval, making it a powerful tool beyond just RAG applications.

Exploring the limits of Postgres: when does it break? – StepChange
In this post, we explore the limits of single-node Postgres and what optimizations can extend its usefulness as a primary application database before requiring more advanced scaling solutions. Monolithic ecommerce app on RDS PostgreSQL Let's use a real-world scenario, a monolith web application that uses PostgreSQL as the application database running on AWS RDS. The RDS instance is a 2xlarge. The resources are: * 8 vCPUs * 64 GB Memory * 20,000 Max I/O operations per second (IOPS) In ou
