Hey HN - we've long wanted to bring Extism into a database server environment to see what a database could do with a more powerful extension system. Here we have an example of embedding Extism[0] into Postgres and calling UDF/plugins to run arbitrary compute, call-outs to LLMs for enrichment, and more.

Code examples here: https://github.com/dylibso/pg_extism

The intersection of seemingly disparate technologies is awesome. Such a cool way to bring AI to Postgres
