[DMP 2024]: Support for Dynamically Built Images

[singhalkarun]

Ticket Contents

Description

Currently, WarpSQL CI builds PostgreSQL images with all extensions included, resulting in large image sizes with unused extensions. This approach also limits our ability to support additional extensions and maintain compatibility documentation between extension versions and PostgreSQL versions. To address this, we need to modify our existing build script and system to allow users to select extensions for their PostgreSQL images and provide a compatibility matrix for reference.

Goals & Mid-Point Milestone

Goals

• Develop a build system capable of creating custom PostgreSQL images based on user requirements, preferably utilizing GitHub Actions.
• Generate an automatically updated compatibility matrix for user reference.

Expected Outcome

WarpSQL users will have access to on-demand, optimized custom PostgreSQL images tailored to their needs.

Acceptance Criteria

• Build system successfully creates custom PostgreSQL images based on user specifications.
• Compatibility matrix is generated and accessible for user reference.

Implementation Details

The implementation is still in draft phase. Some initial ideas include:

• Developing a system similar to the ease of use provided by https://nixery.dev/ but within the ghcr.io container registry environment
• Utilizing multi-stage builds to optimize image size and performance.

Hii @singhalkarun My self Nitish Malang, I had successfully completed GSoC 23, where I worked on the project "Memory allocation in facet redundancy removal in dingo" for GeomScale's Python package dingo, I have gained valuable insights into optimizing memory allocation and improving runtime performance. This project aimed to enhance the preprocessing of metabolic networks with dingo, significantly improving efficiency and allowing for the handling of larger networks in Systems Biology.

In addition to my GSoC project, I had also done some personal projects, including "Streamlining Continuous Integration and Deployment with Jenkins" and "Automating Infrastructure: An Exploration of Ansible Playbooks in Action". I have a strong foundation in Linux and extensive experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and CircleCI. Currently, I am diving deeper into Kubernetes & learning Golang

Apart from that I have also been selected for summer of bitcoin this year
With a passion for DevOps practices and a track record of delivering high-quality projects, I am eager to contribute in this project
