Earlier Rails avoided database specific features so apps could stay portable using only ActiveRecord. Since then Rails has added much better PostgreSQL support: JSON/JSONB, hstore, array columns, GIN/GiST indexes.
Transeau found that software tools to accomplish this weren't readily available. So, he decided to develop his own, forming his own software company, Sonik Architects. And later Sonik Architects was acquired by iZotope.
