A PostgreSQL storage driver for Botkit, version 0.1.0, enabling Botkit-powered chatbots to persist data (e.g., teams, users, channels) in a PostgreSQL database. It wraps the `pg` npm package and provides a simple configuration interface. The package has not been updated since 2017 and appears unmaintained. Compared to other Botkit storage backends (e.g., MongoDB, Redis), this one is minimal and lacks documentation for error handling or migrations.
