The article details a new feature in PostgreSQL 18 that allows parallel creation of GIN indexes, similar to existing support for BTREE and BRIN. This can lead to major performance improvements for CPU-bound index builds on large datasets. It includes a technical explanation of the implementation, the commit details, and a practical test with sample data to demonstrate the potential speedup.
