AI Analysis
●●SolidNiche GemSolve My Problem
gRPC calls from SQL without codegen—pg_http users finally have a typed alternative.
Strengths
- •Zero codegen requirement—just call services directly from triggers and materialized views.
- •Rust + pgrx is the right technical choice for Postgres extension safety and performance.
- •Supports Postgres 13-18 with proper TLS options and JSONB request/response handling.
Weaknesses
- •pg_http already handles external calls from Postgres—gRPC is a narrower slice of that problem.
- •Most teams handle gRPC in the application layer, limiting the addressable audience.
