A quick shadow drop of sorts: who hasn't implemented a cache on top of Postgres? I know, everyone has. And yet, here's another contender that's based on psycopg and can use existing SQLAlchemy engines (or whatever you implement): ⚡️psycache ⚡️
In my defence, when I wrote it (it's been in prod for years) there weren’t quite as many other implementations and the deep support for instrumentation sets this one apart, I think.
And thus Hynek's Summer of Postgres ha…

For the first time, I tried the "Fix with Copilot" button. I used it for the most trivial thing: changing 'Postgresql' to 'PostgreSQL' in a comment.
And this obscure error happened:
Failed to Fix with Copilot. Please try again. (422)
(I tried again, it failed again.)
I thought that maybe it could be faster than me manually fixing the capitalisation of PostgreSQL in the source file. Turns out it was not since
1. It did not work at all
2. I took that screenshot and wrote that rant
3. I fixed it manually anyway
Shit like that is not going to improve my opinion of AI (which isn’t very high to begin with).

No imperative validation in app code. Constraints, foreign keys, check constraints — all declarative in PostgreSQL. No app can corrupt your data. PUT requests are enforced as idempotent.
📦 Installation is simple:
#Docker image available. Native binaries for all platforms. Just run postgrest --help and get started. Current version: v14.4. 195 contributors strong.
−
📖 Automatic API documentation:
PostgREST generates #OpenAPI specs automatically from your schema. Hook up Swagger-UI − interactive, always up-to-date docs for your API. No more manual doc maintenance.
🏗️ Versioning through DB schemas:
Instead of managing API versions in code, PostgREST uses #PostgreSQL
