An ACID compliant db that serves JSON is great. Sorry I didn't make SCALE this year to hear the PG talks and stop by and say hi. Maybe at Open West ? We are incorporating Postgres JSON served from Nodejs (using Express to offer the REST side) into several new products. For modern web apps, JSON just makes so much sense. Yes, the Node driver needs some work - hopefully we can contribute as we work more with it. I'm particularly interested in working offline, then synching (vis-a-vis couch/pouch). If anyone else is working on this issue please feel free to touch base.Aside: I also have basically completely switched to node.js/express + postgres (via 'node-postgres'). It's absolutely fantastic. Besides the obvious great and getting better json support, you have other postgres-ism that mesh very well with node: asynchronous notification for example. merlin days, but I've been handed a PHP/mysql setup. After a bit of searching around, I thought that the exact combination above (node.json/express + node-postgres), possibly coupled with JSON datatypes, could be a really effective solution. () Now for the advocacy part - before I saw this thread I wasn't sure whether there were any real-world implementations of this combination. Are there any good skeletons or prototypes out there to get a RESTful web service up and running with express and postgres? -- Brett Important Notice: The contents of this email are intended solely for the named addressee and are confidential; any unauthorised use, reproduction or storage of the contents is expressly prohibited.
