Today marked a significant milestone in my journey of Postgres extension development as I successfully created my first extension. Building upon the guidance of my mentors, I decided to focus on developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) extension, which required a control file and a SQL script file. While the journey was not without its challenges, the satisfaction of overcoming obstacles and witnessing the extension come to life was truly rewarding.

The initial stages of creating the extension presented some hurdles to overcome. One issue I encountered was the inability to access my control file. Determined to find a solution, I turned to the wealth of knowledge available on platforms like Stack Overflow, where I discovered a valuable workaround that resolved the problem.

As I delved deeper into the development process, I encountered a nomenclature issue that required my attention. Specifically, I realized that I had been commenting in the control file incorrectly.

I successfully created a functional Postgres extension. I documented each challenge I faced during the extension's creation. By compiling a comprehensive list of the encountered issues and their corresponding solutions, I aim to create a resource that can benefit fellow developers and provide valuable insights in my future tutorial.

Looking ahead, I plan to conduct regression tests on the extension to ensure its stability and reliability. This phase will involve testing and experimentation to evaluate the extension's performance under different scenarios.
