Kamran Ahmed ee4b7305a2 Adds ByteByteGo guides and links (#106)
This PR adds all the guides from [Visual
Guides](https://bytebytego.com/guides/) section on bytebytego to the
repository with proper links.

- [x] Markdown files for guides and categories are placed inside
`data/guides` and `data/categories`
- [x] Guide links in readme are auto-generated using
`scripts/readme.ts`. Everytime you run the script `npm run
update-readme`, it reads the categories and guides from the above
mentioned folders, generate production links for guides and categories
and populate the table of content in the readme. This ensures that any
future guides and categories will automatically get added to the readme.
- [x] Sorting inside the readme matches the actual category and guides
sorting on production

It seems that no matter what the use case, PostgreSQL supports it. When in doubt, you can simply use PostgreSQL.
## PostgreSQL Capabilities
* **TimeSeries**
PostgreSQL embraces Timescale, a powerful time-series database extension for efficient handling of time-stamped data.
* **Machine Learning**
With pgVector and PostgresML, Postgres can support machine learning capabilities and vector similarity searches.
* **OLAP**
Postgres can support OLAP with tools such as Hydra, Citus, and pg\_analytics.
* **Derived**
Even derived databases such as DuckDB, FerretDB, CockroachDB, AlloyDB, YugaByte DB, Supabase, etc provide PostgreSQL.
* **GeoSpatial**
PostGIS extends PostgreSQL with geospatial capabilities, enabling you to easily store, query, and analyze geographic data.
* **Search**
Postgres extensions like pgroonga, ParadeDB, and ZomboDB provide full-text search, text indexing, and data parsing capabilities.
* **Federated**
Postgres seamlessly integrates with various data sources such as MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, Oracle, ParquetDB, SQLite, etc, enabling federated querying and data access.
* **Graph**
Apache AGE and EdgeDB are graph databases built on top of PostgreSQL. Also, pg\_graphql is an extension that provides GraphQL support for Postgres.
