PgREST
PostgreSQL, JavaScript, and REST
PgREST turns PostgreSQL into a RESTful JSON document store, allows running JavaScript and npm modules as stored procedures for queries and triggers from within the database. It also provides Firebase-compatible API for developing real-time applications.
PgREST is...
- a JSON document store
- running inside PostgreSQL
- working with existing relational data
- capable of loading Node.js modules
- compatible with MongoLab's REST API
- and Firebase's real-time API
This talk will cover:
- the building blocks of PgREST: PostgreSQL, plv8js, plv8x
- examples for turning existing relational data into REST endpoints
- building real-time applications with PgREST
