Rafia Sabih announces a new extension:
How about a situation when you want to log all the login attempts made to your PostgreSQL server. Yes, one way would be to read your log files and find out all the information related to login attempts and then transfer to them some other file, etc. to further use this information. Now, this is one way of doing it but it might pose some challenges like time and memory consumption in reading from those long files, additionally this is going to incur a lot of I/O which might be a serious issue when you are on cloud. During my time working for Zalando, we came across this problem and decided to write a Postgres extension to handle this efficiently.
