Omnigres is a collection of PostgreSQL extensions that turn a Postgres instance into a full application platform, hosting application logic, HTTP/WebSocket servers, caching, and auth inside or next to the database. It ships as a container image and can also be installed into existing Postgres installations.

Use cases

• run a web app entirely inside postgres
• serve http and websocket from the database
• add authentication and authorization to postgres apps
• expose postgres tables as a rest api
• build reactive live-updating applications on postgres
• self-host a single-database application stack
• implement double-entry ledgers in postgres

When to choose

• you want to deploy and scale an app from a single database instance
• you prefer writing application logic in SQL close to your data
• you want batteries-included building blocks like auth, REST, and caching on Postgres

When to avoid

• you need a polyglot stack with heavy application logic outside the database
• you use a database other than PostgreSQL
• you need a battle-tested platform for very large-scale production workloads
