Posts about Crunchy Bridge

It's been a little over a year since we launched Crunchy Bridge. We've been busy over the past year, focusing on the foundations of Crunchy Bridge, ensuring solid resiliency, reducing our high availability failover times, making upgrades seamless and smooth. There has been a lot of activity over the past few months so we thought it was time for an update. Consider this the first of many more to come on what we're up to. First, a little on how we think about Postgres and databases in general.

Let's start with Postgres. It's a great database. It has transactional DDL, multiple ways of indexing for improved query performance, a vast range of datatypes (JSONB

Reality is messy, and for every, "We've standardized on cloud Amazon, Azure, or GCP" announcement, there are tens or hundreds of apps hidden within an organization running on the "other" cloud. Most workloads don't span across clouds, but every large organization has workloads on each cloud vendor. And for everyone's favorite database (Postgres) we're excited to say you don't have to compromise quality when it comes to which cloud vendor you're running on. Today we're announcing Crunchy Bridge

The PostGIS raster extension has a steep learning curve, but it opens up some unique possibilities for data analysis and accessing non-standard data from within PostgreSQL. Here's an example that shows how to access raster data from PostGIS running on Crunchy Bridge

At most of the places I've worked, the primary language used was not what I gravitated to naturally. If you're going to ask for a language of choice personally, it's python. I appreciate the explicit nature, that it's often pseudocode that can execute and it has a rich ecosystem of libraries (though that’s most languages these days). But as much as anything I latched onto Django

Most database services in the cloud have not significantly evolved in the past 5 years. They tend to support the basics of read replicas and backups and then move on to other new shiny services, forgetting about a key pillar of your application: your PostgreSQL database. Today we're looking to change that with the launch of Crunchy Bridge
