Suggested Alternatives

Use our Docker-images with postgres and plv8. It's free! Images based on Debian and Alpine are available.

docker pull sibedge/postgres-plv8

Pay attention, that BigInt is not serializable in v8 and by default in plv8 v3.0.0 and higher BigInt numbers are converted into string(!). But if you need BigInt as numbers support, use this image with Postgres and specific version of plv8:

docker pull sibedge/postgres-plv8-bigint
