It can be used for simple scheduling or for more complex tasks where, where you have to run something.

And if it's, if, if it is completed, then you run something else or maybe in parallel and you just defined with SQL syntax, you define the workflow and then it runs and automatically if the database

Restarts or fails over, uh, then the jobs will, uh, we'll just continue.

Oh, there are many other features and, and to be fair, there are some features where I didn't even look deeply into them.

One, for example, is the possibility of using Postgres as a graph database.

Oh, really?

Because graph functions are coming to Postgres also.

I mentioned vector search, but there is also text search that you want to use in some cases because you know the words.

Vector search is good for semantic similarity, but maybe you just know the words that you want to look at in big text.

So there is a BM25 index, so the same as the Lucene ones.

with full text search extension.

Yeah, those are the features that make Postgres a database that can be used for many different workloads without having to put more data logic in the application because that belongs to the database.

So it's easier to manage and deploy because everything is in the database, but also for execution, always better to run where the data is.

to avoid moving data to different services and then putting them back to the database.

But the most advantage of it, I think, is IAVability, the main advantage, because Postgres doesn't have built-in IAVability.

There is replication and there are tools around that can automate, detect failures, automate a failover, but

It's all quite complex to automate around.

When the storage runs as a service that is available in multiple zones, the replication is done at lower level, then it brings our availability to Postgres without this complexity.

So basically, Horizon DB, when you write, the writer adds login that

protects the instances sent to the storage servers on multiple zones.
