Shows how Postgres becomes a document store using hstore key/value column and PLV8 runs V8 inside Postgres to parse and index JSON. Demonstrates querying product attributes with hstore indexes, storing a million JSON rows, creating expression indexes to drop queries from minutes to milliseconds, and a Fibonacci benchmark where PLV8 outruns plpgsql (orders of magnitude faster after memoization). Mentions Wall-E backups, Postgres 9.2 JSON type, and ActiveRecord integration approaches.
