Postgres Webhooks with Pgstream


A simple tutorial for calling webhooks on Postgres data and schema changes using pgstream.

By integrating pgstream into your PostgreSQL environment, you can automate workflows, trigger real-time notifications, and build more responsive applications, whether for data synchronization, auditing, or microservices communication. Postgres values over the page size (commonly 8k, after compression) are stored separately from the main table data in TOAST storage. pgstream works around this limitation by installing DDL event triggers and maintaining the list of changes in a separate table, called pgstream.schema_log.
