Postgresql Event store implementation

Eventstore implementation to store events in Postgresql

Running tests

The tests expect a local Postgresql to be running. It uses the standard libpq environment variables to find it. You will need permissions to create schemas (namespaces) in the database that is connected to.

Start a PostgreSQL instance for tests using Docker

In a terminal window, run:

docker run --rm -it -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust postgres:14-alpine

This runs a PostgreSQL on port 5432 (the default), with password authentication disabled (which is reasonable for local testing). The database is created with a default "postgres" user and database, so you still need to specify this when running tests:

PGUSER=postgres yarn test

Environment variables

The most important variables:

The full list is at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-envars.html

Connecting to an AWS RDS instance

The library includes a helper for connecting to an AWS RDS instance with IAM auth. In order to run the test for this, you need to set two additional environment variables:

By contrast, these tests are not run if the environment variables are not set.

Releasing a new version
