Keep It Simple Stupid, just use postgres.
The goal of this repository is to demonstrate how to use Postgres for Everything.
It's inspired by this article from the Amazing CTO as well as this GitHub gist from @cpursley.
It seems like every week I hear of a new tool on top of Postgres or another way it can being used, so I wanted a place where I can keep track of everything. If you have other examples, submit a PR!
