Developing Your Own Postgres Database Extensions
Details
Extensions are part of what makes Postgres such a powerful and popular database. Being able to add new capabilities to your database allows developers to adapt Postgres to many different use cases from geospatial (PostGIS), to multi-server sharding (Citus), to custom datatypes (pg_semver), to foreign data wrappers (postgres_fdw), to columnar storage (Hydra columnar), and others.
Jerry is going to walk us through getting started working on database extensions. We will cover how extensions work and getting started authoring your very own first database extension! Time permitting, and with interest, we will cover operators and types. This talk is intended for all developers and DBA’s alike, so bring your questions.
Pizza is provided, and we also have a user group lending library of books & papers related to PostgreSQL and Databases.

Note: we originally had Paul Ramsey scheduled for this date. Sadly, we have to reschedule Paul's talk. Paul is working together with us on finding a date, hopefully this fall. And a HUGE thank you to Jerry for bringing this exciting talk to Seattle on relatively short notice!
