Research direction

Start by locating the page in the protocolbuffers/protocolbuffers.github.io repository that lists related PostgreSQL or storage projects. Read its existing entry format, review the pgproto project at the linked PGXN page, and add the extension if it fits the page's scope. Done means the page includes an accurate pgproto entry and link.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Sharing a new extension released recently which allows Postgres to store protobuffers natively called pgproto.

https://pgxn.org/dist/pgproto/

Results: Much faster than JSONB for using Postgres as a NoSQL / SQL hybrid, uses 65% less storage space and is 37% faster to retrieve.
It also fairs pretty well against native postgres columns and joint tables.

Just wanted to see if we should add this to the page.
