Pioneering PLV8 for Apple Silicon: Embracing the Future of Arm64 Architecture

Hello, fellow developers!
Today, we're excited to share another milestone in our journey with PLV8. As you know, we've been working tirelessly to make PLV8 more accessible and efficient for developers around the world. Now, we're taking a giant leap forward by introducing support for the arm64 architecture, specifically for Apple Silicon, which includes the groundbreaking M1 and M2 chips.

Apple Silicon, a series of arm64 processors, has made waves in the tech world with its high performance and power efficiency. However, it also brought new challenges for developers due to its arm64 architecture. That's where we come in.

About a year ago, a developer from Sweden reached out to us. He was working with an M1 Mac and wished for PLV8 to be compatible with it. At that time, no one was offering this feature. We saw this as an opportunity to expand PLV8's capabilities and to help developers like him. So, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work.

The result? We've put together a Docker image for PLV8 that works seamlessly on the arm64 architecture, making it compatible with both M1 and M2 chips. It's like we've built a bridge, connecting the power of PLV8 to the potential of Apple Silicon. And the best part? We're the only ones doing this right now.

But we're not stopping there. We're committed to providing constant updates to our PLV8 image, ensuring it stays compatible with the latest versions of PostgreSQL and Apple Silicon. It's like we're on a never-ending journey, always moving forward, always improving.

So, if you're a developer working with an M1 or M2 Mac and PostgreSQL, our PLV8 image is here to make your life easier. Give it a try and experience the future of development today.
Check out our GitHub repository for more details. And if you find our project beneficial, please give us a star. Your support helps us continue our work and helps others discover our project.

Ready to get started? You can download our PLV8 image directly from Docker Hub and begin your journey with PLV8 on Apple Silicon.

Happy coding!
