For our fifth meetup of 2025, we're extremely excited to have Philippe Noël talking about **Building a full-text search Postgres extension in Rust!** Learn about how ParadeDB brings Elasticsearch-quality text search to Postgres and the kinds of challenges they've solved along the way.

Philippe is CEO at ParadeDB, which is a modern Elasticsearch alternative built on Postgres. It's built for real-time, update-heavy workloads. It provides search and analytics for Postgres with zero ETL.

He can be found on Twitter as [@philippemnoel](https://x.com/philippemnoel) and on BlueSky as [philippenoel.bsky.social](https://bsky.app/profile/philippemnoel.bsky.social).

We'll be at **Materialize** and on **Tuesday**! Doors open at 6:30pm to give people plenty of time to grab pizza and socialize, and then the talk starts at 7:30!

It should be a good time! Hope to see you there!

We're extremely excited to announce that **[Lawrence Harvey](https://www.lawrenceharvey.com/)** is Rust NYC's official recruitment partner sponsor!

The space was generously sponsored by **[Materialize](https://materialize.com/)**, which is a database providing incrementally updated materialized views with strong consistency. Hate waiting for your dashboards to load? Use Materialize.
