Let PostgreSQL Pick An Index For You

 Supabase has launched Index Advisor, a Postgres extension for recommending indexes that improve query performance, easing the burden off the developer's shoulders.

Usually when you create your tables you'll also want to create indexes upon them for rapid retrieval. In order to do that you'll need a good understanding of your domain and how the code accesses data. RDBMs's are optimized to work declaratively; that is you tell them what you want without instructing them how to, like you do in the imperative programming model, letting it decide the best way of going about it.

Greenplum's Cloudberry Fork Enters Apache Incubator

  Cloudberry is the open source equivalent of Greenplum. Now it is fostered by the Apache Foundation as it acquires incubating status. It all began about six months ago. Greenplum's Github repositories was archived and went dark. This meant no more free new releases or security and bug fixes for its users. Why? Because in May 2024, Tanzu made the decision to close-source the project. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/84-database/17694-greenplums-cloudberry-fork-enters-apache-incubator-.html
