Pg_chdb is a PostgreSQL extension library that enables fast data imports from object storage (S3, GCS, Azure Blob) into Postgres tables using the COPY command and chDB queries. It supports multiple data formats and demonstrates consistent performance that outperforms similar extensions like pg_duckdb and pg_lake by 2-3x for CSV, JSON, and Parquet imports.
Lakebase Postgres uses object storage and PostgreSQL's write-ahead log (WAL) to enable agents to efficiently interact with databases by treating transaction history as the source of truth rather than current state snapshots. This transaction-centric model makes database operations like copies, restores, and replicas cheap and scalable by storing the complete timeline in object storage while data files become cached derivatives.
ObjGit is a proof-of-concept Git server that stores repositories in object storage like Tigris instead of local filesystems. It supports SSH, HTTP, and Git protocols with post-receive hooks, Prometheus metrics, and bare repository format, though it lacks authentication and has not been extensively tested.
A developer is building an open-source Git server backed by object storage, discovering that Git's packfile format was the performance bottleneck. They created a custom columnar packfile format optimized for object storage to handle production-sized repositories efficiently without requiring client-side changes.
RustFS 1.0.0 GA, a distributed object storage system written in Rust, is now production-ready. Since its first commit in February 2024, the open-source project has achieved 32,000+ GitHub stars and 2.7 million+ deployed instances worldwide, offering S3-compatible APIs and features like erasure coding, data tiering, and encryption.
A developer describes building a Git server backed by object storage, initially using a filesystem translation layer but ultimately creating a custom columnar packfile format optimized for object storage to achieve production-level performance without requiring client-side changes.
