In this chapter, we have implemented PostgREST step by step to create an automatic API service for PostgreSQL version 12. By working through this chapter, developers have also practiced Docker usage, Docker and SQL, PostgREST first execution, database users and roles, and JSON Web Token. We also learned how to run PostgREST as a service.
The second part of the chapter focused on introducing PostgreSQL timing data with TimescaleDB from Timescale Cloud, a new extension related to PostgREST. This chapter concludes the PostgreSQL development part of the book.
In the next chapters, we will focus on PostgreSQL administration.
