Curl's bug bounty program unfortunately fell prey to AI slopsters trying to make an easy buck.

That's not the only factor, though.

Daniel says three bad trends combined to make them take this step.

The top nine Postgres extensions that Tiger Data customers use.

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.
