pgrx is a Rust framework for building PostgreSQL extensions with type safety, automatic schema generation, and support for Postgres 13–18 from a single codebase. It translates Rust panics into transaction-aborting errors and provides first-class UDF support via procedural macros. The framework includes a cargo-based CLI for extension scaffolding, testing across multiple Postgres versions, and packaging.
