JsQuery

JsQuery – is a language to query jsonb data type, introduced in PostgreSQL release 9.4. It's primary goal is to provide an additional functionality to jsonb (currently missing in PostgreSQL), such as a simple and effective way to search in nested objects and arrays, more comparison operators with indexes support.

Multi-master cluster with sharding

Multi-master cluster with sharding which provides read/write scalability as well as high availability is obviously one of most wanted DBMS features. Experience shows that we should move in step-by-step manner in order to have it in core one day. Postgres Professional company joins community efforts in this direction.

Page-level data compression

PGLZ compression of individual values is used now in PostgreSQL. That’s good, but sometimes it’s possible to achieve significant compression only when compressing multiple values together. This is why we’re considering page-level data compression.

Connection pooling

Working with large number of simultaneous connections almost inevitably leads to usage of connection pools. Unfortunately, present pooling solutions are very limited in access to all PostgreSQL features.
