RT @aymericaugustin: Great post by @zzzeek about asyncio and databases: If you want to ask for asyncio in Django, read this first.

PostgREST serves a fully RESTful API from any existing PostgreSQL database. It provides a cleaner, more standards-compliant, faster API than you are likely to write from scratch.

HStore in PostgreSQL 9.4 will support nested arrays, w/ binary representation x50 faster than JSON for some queries

The library provides a simple interface where queues are created on-demand and items added using the put() and get() methods. In addition, queues are iterable, pulling items out as they become available.

In addition, the put() method provides scheduling and prioritization options. An item can be scheduled for work at a particular time, and its work priority defined in terms of an expected time where the item must be worked.

Instant, ephemeral PostgreSQL database "in the cloud":

+1 :)

Redis persistence demystified:

PostgreSQL 9.2 is getting a JSON type.
