PostgreSQL is an open-source database known for its robustness, extensibility, and compliance with SQL standards. Its ability to handle complex queries and maintain high data integrity has made it a top choice for both start-ups and large enterprises.


Heikki Linnakangas is a leading developer for the PostgreSQL project, and he’s a co-founder at Neon, which provides a serverless platform for spinning up Postgres databases. In this episode, he joins Kevin Ball to talk about why PostgreSQL has become so popular, why he founded Neon, Postgres Core vs. Extensions, the pgvector similarity search for AI applications, and much more.


Full Disclosure: This episode is sponsored by Neon.






Kevin Ball or KBall, is the vice president of engineering at Mento and an independent coach for engineers and engineering leaders. He co-founded and served as CTO for two companies, founded the San Diego JavaScript meetup, and organizes the AI inaction discussion group through Latent Space.
