StackGres 1.0.0: Open Source Postgres-aaS with 120+ Extensions
Álvaro Hernández Founder and CEO Twitter LinkedIn
We’re announcing StackGres 1.0.0 GA. StackGres is an Open Source Postgres-as-a-Service that runs on any Kubernetes environment. StackGres, today, is the Postgres platform with the most Postgres extensions available: 120 as of today. Many more to come in the future.
At OnGres we have been providing Postgres Professional Services for years. We love IaC (Infrastructure as Code). One of our realizations was that it was next to impossible to create a “single IaC package” that would contain Postgres and its Stack of components, that would work on any environment. There are just so many different compute, storage and networking components, with different APIs.
So we asked ourselves: is there any “abstraction layer” for distributed infrastructure? The answer was Kubernetes. Kubernetes APIs allowed us to create a single deployable Postgres package, that contains Postgres itself and all its necessary Stack, and run –almost– anywhere.
