PgREST turns PostgreSQL into a RESTful JSON document store, allows running JavaScript and npm modules as stored procedures for queries and triggers from within the database. It also provides Firebase-compatible API for developing real-time applications. PgREST is... a JSON document store running inside PostgreSQL working with existing relational data capable of loading Node.js modules compatible with MongoLab's REST API and Firebase's real-time API This talk will cover: the building blocks of PgREST: PostgreSQL, plv8js, plv8x examples for turning existing relational data into REST endpoints building real-time applications with PgREST
