Summary

Introducing PgCompute, a client-side PostgreSQL extension that enables JavaScript functions to be executed directly on the database from application logic, improving developer experience by allowing developers to create and optimize database functions within their preferred IDE and programming language. With PgCompute, users can deploy and manage database functions automatically or manually, with features such as automatic deployment mode and native integration with Supabase. The extension uses DeploymentMode.AUTO by default, which automatically deploys and updates functions in the database as needed, reducing network latency and improving performance. By leveraging PgCompute, developers can work with database functions more efficiently, making it an ideal solution for data and compute-intensive tasks such as traversing and manipulating large datasets.
