You're running Postgres, Pinecone, and TimescaleDB.

What if I told you that's two databases too many?

Tiger Data analyzed tens of thousands of databases to find the nine extensions their customers actually use, and the results are a love letter to Postgres extensibility.

The top extensions their customers actually use are TimescaleDB for time series, PGVector and PGVectorScale for embeddings, PostGIS for geo, PGAI for calling LLMs directly from SQL.

You want some data?

Well, PGVectorScale benchmarks at 28x lower latency and 16x higher throughput than Pinecone at 75% less cost, and TimescaleDB, your 1TB of time series data compresses down to 100GB.

Instead of duct taping three specialized databases together, you can extend the one you already know.

No new query language, no data sync nightmares, no vendor lock-in.

This opens the door for teams to stop context switching between databases and start shipping features.

ZeroBrew applies UV's model to Mac packages.

ZeroBrew takes some of the best ideas from UV and applies them to Homebrew.

Quote, packages live in a content-addressable store, so reinstalls are instant.

Downloads, extraction, and linking run in parallel with aggressive HTTP caching.

It pulls from Homebrew's CDN, so you can swap brew for ZB with your existing commands.

This leads to dramatic speedups, up to 5x cold and 20x warm.

This is all quite experimental at the moment, but it appears to be picking up steam.

I also appreciate the author's approach to LLMs.

Quote, I spent a lot of time thinking through this architecture, testing, and debugging.
