Today you can find a good number of us at the Maintainer Summit at #KubeCon in Amsterdam. Yesterday, at Cloud Native Rejekts, EDB colleagues Gabriele Fedi, and John Long, presented "Solving Operator Extensibility: A gRPC Plugin Framework for Kubernetes". Recording coming soon!

CloudNativePG versions 1.28.1 and 1.27.3 released, delivering important bug fixes and stability improvements: 1️⃣ Critical fix for #PgBouncer upgrades 2️⃣ Timeline protection during WAL restore 3️⃣ Timeline reset after major upgrades cloudnative-pg.io/releases/clo... #PostgreSQL #Kubernetes

At #FOSDEM PGDay last week, Jonathan Gonzalez and I presented a lightning talk about how the CloudNativePG project has been flooded with #AI contributions lately, as a way of catharsis. Now available in blog-format: dev.to/floord/open-... @fosdempgday.org @sxd.cl @cloudnativepg.bsky.social

Alya Abbott in "Pull requests maintainers will love to review" talked a bit about AI-generated PRs and how those are not so lovely. Here are the slides for how @sxd.cl and I as @cloudnativepg.bsky.social people are losing time over AI and bots: www.canva.com/design/DAG_5... (script coming)
