EnterpriseDB seeks to bridge structured and unstructured data with free PostgreSQL AWS dev kit
EnterpriseDB Corporation has announced the release of a new suite of developer tools for Amazon Web Services that will enable the next generation of Web 2.0 applications built atop the NoSQL capabilities with the open-source database PostgreSQL.
This new dev environment, the Postgres Extended Datatype Developer Kit (PGXDK), is designed for developers of any skill level to build NoSQL applications.
“This Amazon AMI-based environment means [developers] get up and running more quickly and have a much more powerful foundation to work on,” said Marc Linster, Senior Vice President, Products and Services, at EnterpriseDB. This continues the company’s push of Postgres into enterprise-level development alongside embracing more cloud-centric application capabilities, as seen with EnterpriseDB’s Postgres Plus AWS database.
The PGXDK provides a continuum of developer tools needed for building applications with JSON/JSON B and HStore in Postgres. The toolkit includes PostgreSQL 9.4 beta, a web server and implementations of Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Node.js, and Python. In the fall, EDB will release a version with PL/V8 providing an integrated JavaScript language.
PostgreSQL itself an enterprise-ready relational database, but NoSQL DBMS solutions work with unstructured data. EnterpriseDB sees this solution, with the addition of NoSQL capabilities, as one that can assist enterprise developers with attending to a growing need to bridge older structured data with upcoming unstructured data solutions.
With this dev kit and the changes to PostgreSQL, enterprise developers will have the capability to keep up with increasing NoSQL-only solutions while not losing track of traditional data already historically stored.
Using Postgres’s NoSQL capabilities developers get the flexibility to handle conventional SQL data, documents and key-value pairs in a high-performance, ACID-compliant DBMS that supports most workloads.
According to EnterpriseDB, using Postgres will free developers from rigid data models—having the ability to work with structured and unstructured data. This would lead the easier coding of applications utilizing standardized business logic that can also evolve quickly as needs arise. EnterpriseDB also expects that this product will eliminate data silos, ensure long-term data integrity, and provide greater control.
EnterpriseDB plans to unveil the new toolkit during a September 10th webinar: NoSQL Applications for the Enterprise — Do More with Postgres.
