With PostgreSQL recently being voted the second-most loved database, and Rust being voted the most loved programming language, it's about time we be able to integrate the two.

PostgreSQL's extension system is second-to-none, however its main barriers are the need for a background in C and an understanding of Postgres' source code.

"pgx" aims to mitigate these barriers by providing a Postgres extension framework natural to Rust programmers, new and experienced alike.

In this presentation, we'll discuss "pgx"'s extension development workflow, its approach to Rust crate organization, Rust types as Postgres types, UDFs, unit testing, and more. And we'll do it live.
