## What it is
A curated list of tools, articles, and examples demonstrating how to use PostgreSQL for a wide variety of use cases instead of adding specialized infrastructure. It catalogs Postgres-based approaches to queues, search, analytics, caching, authorization, and more.

## Use cases
- find a postgres alternative to a message queue
- learn how to use postgres for full-text and vector search
- decide whether to replace redis kafka or elasticsearch with postgres
- discover tools built on top of postgres
- reduce infrastructure complexity by consolidating on one database
- find postgres extensions for cron jobs analytics or geospatial data

## When to choose
- you want to simplify your stack by consolidating on Postgres
- you need a reference of Postgres-based tools and extensions by category
- you are evaluating whether a specialized datastore can be replaced with Postgres

## When to avoid
- you need a tutorial or hands-on codebase rather than a link list
- you already committed to specialized infrastructure like Kafka or Elasticsearch
- you need production support or a maintained software product

## Facets

- maturity: active
- function: database, documentation, developer-tools
- domain: databases, developer-tools, awesome-lists
