In this post, we demonstrate how to create custom PostgreSQL data types using TLE. PostgreSQL ships with many robust data types that accommodate most customer workloads in a performant manner. Although PostgreSQL has the capabilities to deploy custom data types natively, introducing new data types at scale in architectures spanning multiple AWS accounts and Regions poses a unique challenge for builders. With Trusted Language Extensions (TLE), you can create and manage your custom data types, allowing the quick and easy deployment of PostgreSQL data types across your infrastructures in a secure and efficient manner.
