What is it?

Awesome Postgres is an curated index of projects and resources around PostgreSQL, the open-source object-relational database. Entries are grouped by purpose, including high availability and replication, backups, GUI clients, command-line tools, monitoring, extensions, work queues, query optimization, language drivers, managed hosting providers, Docker images and Kubernetes operators.

It is useful as a starting point when you need to find a tool for a specific PostgreSQL task, such as choosing a failover manager, a migration tool or a Node.js or Go driver. Many entries are short one-line descriptions with links, and some are marked as commercial software.

The list is inspired by awesome-mysql and is released under CC0, and contributions are accepted through pull requests and issues.
