This is the code repository for Developing Modern Database Applications with PostgreSQL, published by Packt.
Use the highly available and object-relational PostgreSQL to build scalable and reliable apps
PostgreSQL is an open-source object-relational database management system (DBMS) that provides enterprise-level services, including high performance and scalability. This book is a collection of unique projects providing you with a wealth of information relating to administering, monitoring, and testing PostgreSQL. The focus of each project is on both the development and the administrative aspects of PostgreSQL.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Set up high availability PostgreSQL database clusters in the same containment, a cross-containment, and on the cloud
- Monitor the performance of a PostgreSQL database
- Create automated unit tests and implement test-driven development for a PostgreSQL database
- Develop PostgreSQL apps on cloud platforms using DevOps with Python and Node.js
- Write robust APIs for PostgreSQL databases using Python programming, Node.js, and PostgREST

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.
The code will look like the following:
// add query functions
module.exports = {
getAllATMLocations: getAllATMLocations,
getSingleATMLocation: getSingleATMLocation,
createATMLocation: createATMLocation,
updateATMLocation: updateATMLocation,
removeATMLocation: removeATMLocation
};
Following is what you need for this book: This PostgreSQL book is for database developers, database administrators, data architects, or anyone who wants to build end-to-end database projects using Postgres. This book will also appeal to software engineers, IT technicians, computer science researchers, and university students who are interested in database development and administration. Some familiarity with PostgreSQL and Linux is required to grasp the concepts covered in the book effectively.
With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-12).
| Chapter | Software required | OS required |
