Gemini CLI extension for PostgreSQL in action: Build a fuzzy search feature in minutes

Cloud Computing /

Adding features to an app can be hard. One minute you’re writing code, the next you’re switching to the PostgreSQL database client to run a query, and then it’s over to the console to check on your instances. For example, let’s say you wanted to add search capabilities. This can mean adding the right extensions
