AMENDMENT Around the world with Postgres extensions
FOSDEM 2019

With the rich extension APIs you can now add advanced functionality to Postgres without having to fork the codebase or wait for the main PostgreSQL release cycle.

Postgres continues to get more and more feature rich. But equally as impressive is the network of extensions that are growing around Postgres. With the rich extension APIs you can now add advanced functionality to Postgres without having to fork the codebase or wait for the main PostgreSQL release cycle.

pgstatstatments PostGIS HyperLogLog and TopN Timescale pg_partman Citus Foreign data wrappers which are their own whole class
