Postgres Meetup for All tomorrow www.meetup.com/postgres-mee...

PostGIS tip: Get faster spatial queries and maps with st_simplfy. ⚡ When you don't need exact topology and want to make things faster and simpler, look at the ST_Simplify and ST_SimplifyPreserveTopology functions. Example in the video.

Tomorrow the Postgres Meetup for All will be hosting Philippe Noël (@philippemnoel.bsky.social) from ParadeDB. Phil will present for about 30 minutes and we'll have the rest of the time for discussion about Postgres and search. Join us! www.meetup.com/postgres-mee...
