Show HN: I Wrote a Book on PostgreSQL for Rails

47 pointsby andatkiover 1 year ago
Hi HN. As a backend developer using PostgreSQL and Ruby on Rails for more than 10 years, around 3 years ago, I caught a spark to learn as much as I could about how to operate high performance, scalable, and reliable PostgreSQL databases.<p>As I reflected on my own career path, I realized there are other developers that may want to learn more about this. I saw an opportunity to help show backend developers how they could put advanced, powerful, PostgreSQL features to use, to help build and scale their Rails apps.<p>I&#x27;ve been fortunate to give presentations in both the PostgreSQL and Rails communities over the last couple of years. In that time I&#x27;ve continued to work with these technologies every day.<p>With that said, I&#x27;d love for you to check out my new book: &quot;High Performance PostgreSQL for Rails&quot;. Currently in ebook&#x2F;PDF Beta form. While it&#x27;s only an ebook for now, there&#x27;s an expected physical version coming in early 2024.<p>Today you can pick up the PDF&#x2F;ebook version for 40% off using code: turkeysale2023<p>There are free PDF excerpts you can check out, to see if this book is for you, or something you&#x27;d recommend to others.<p>The book is currently on the weekly Best Seller list at Pragmatic Programmers, where it&#x27;s appeared several times in the last couple of months.<p>The book focuses exclusively on open source software like PostgreSQL and Ruby on Rails, adding more than 40 Ruby gems and PostgreSQL extensions into the stack of tools.<p>The Rails application used throughout the book is available on GitHub.<p>Whether you work with Rails or another similar MVC full-stack framework or ORM like Laravel, Django, or Prisma, I hope there’s something useful in the book for you or your colleagues.<p>I love writing, learning, and sharing, and advocating for PostgreSQL and Ruby on Rails! Thanks for your support!
