Typed database objects for application developers and the new NORM of Postgres
In this engaging interview, we hear from Henrietta Dombrovskaya (Hettie), organizer of the Chicago PostgresQL user group. She shares her experience as a mathematician from the introduction of databases to the world, to the patterns and antipatterns that rose from those early problems. We talk about Postgres strictness and how typed object contracts are the key to unlocking ultimate developer experience gains.
