One engineer built a working PostgreSQL profiler in a single day with AI, without writing a single line of code himself.
How did a developer build a
PostgreSQL profiler without writing code? With an AI assistant. The engineer described the task, and the neural network generated a working MVP of the profiler in one day, skipping weeks of sign-offs and development.
How long does building a profiler usually take?
The conventional route takes weeks of work, including agreeing on a specification. With AI, the same solution took one day.
Can ChatGPT be used to build developer tools?
Yes. The engineer built a working MVP of a PostgreSQL profiler in one day using only ChatGPT, without writing any code himself.
Why does PostgreSQL need a profiler?
PostgreSQL outpaces MS SQL on features, but diagnostics and profiling are its well-known weak spot. SQL Server ships with a built-in profiler; PostgreSQL has none.
How can you use AI to write database code?
You can use a neural network to generate the code, as in this case, where the engineer built a PostgreSQL profiler in one day.
Can AI help you build an add-on for PostgreSQL?
Yes. As the article shows, the engineer built a working PostgreSQL profiler in a day without writing a single line of code himself.
