Enhancing Community Trust: Production Readiness and Performance Insights

[ori-shalom]

Hi there! I've been searching for a reliable PostgreSQL client for Node.js that supports the binary protocol mode, and I'm thrilled to have found this project. However, before adopting it in production, I’d love to learn more about its maturity and usage:

• Testing & Reliability: What tests have been conducted, and how “battle-tested” is it?
• Production Usage: Is it deployed in any real-world scenarios? If so, what kind of load does it handle?
• Adoption: Are there any known companies or high-profile projects that rely on it?
• Benchmarks: Have you run any benchmarks comparing it to other PostgreSQL clients?

From what I’ve seen, the codebase looks well-structured. Providing details about real-world usage, performance benchmarks, and notable adoptions in the README or documentation could help build trust and encourage broader community adoption.

I appreciate any information you can share!

Hi there.

Let me tell about this project. We created PostgreJS because we couldn't find a PostgreSQL driver enough for our high load enterprise level applications. 'pg' is good and popular but it implements text transfer format which is slow and puts a load on the server. And also it is built on NodeJS event emitters. This makes it open to bugs. This cannot be tolerated because our projects have very heavy SLAs.

Testing & Reliability: The driver itself has been tested with more than 270 test scenerios. And it has beed tested with our projects also within more than 1000 scnerios.
Production Usage: Yes we use it in our high load projects.
Adoption: We do not know who uses this driver. Actually, we don't really care. 🙂 We created it for ourself and made it open-sourced. Any one can use it.
Benchmarks: No actually, if anyone can share the results we would appreciate it.
