Key Points
- 2026-09-16: planetscale GA launch of tin FTS extension — vendor benchmarks claim 2–16× faster index builds and up to 541× query throughput vs GIN on 150M-doc corpus (2026-09-19-planetscale-tin-postgres-full-text-search)
ctid-based postings and vectorized bitmap operations differentiate TIN from traditional GIN/Elasticsearch sidecar patterns- Managed-only deployment limits applicability to self-hosted postgres users
TIN performance claims are vendor-reported; independent replication pending.
