Earlier this year we started a program ("Developer U") to help colleagues who show promise for #PostgreSQL Development to become contributors. In the first of the series to be published we meet Akshay Joshi, a Principal Engineer and Engineering Manager at EDB: www.enterprisedb.com/blog/postgre...

On video for a webinar and the kid comes downstairs, his tooth fell out (expected behavior) and there's blood everywhere. What do you do?

The call for new members for the PostgreSQL Community Code of Conduct Committee is out 📢 Come work with me on this important group! Here's how to apply: www.postgresql.org/about/news/c...

November 24, at 18:00 UTC, join for the longer version of Jeremy Schneider's and Leonardo Cecchi's #KubeCon talk "Quorum-Based Consistency for Cluster Changes with the CloudNativePG Operator", virtually: zoom-lfx.platform.linuxfoundation.org/meetings/clo... #PostgreSQL #Kubernetes #CNCF

So @matty.wtf and I are recording a podcast later. What should we absolutely not talk about?

We just published the first release candidate of CloudNativePG 1.28. Its key improvements: 💪 The Quorum-Based Failover feature was promoted to stable ✍️ Declarative Foreign Data Management Dive into the release notes for full details and more fixes: cloudnative-pg.io/documentatio...

Just finished slides for a talk that I haven't even submitted anywhere yet. How's your day going? ✌️

I wrote a very personal PGConf EU summary, with many links to... stuff. Check it out: dev.to/floord/my-pg... #PostgreSQL #Postgres

We're almost all recovered from PGConf EU, what a week! We've collected all the sessions we were involved in, and all slides, on a page on our website: www.enterprisedb.com/event/pgconf... Here's for a few bonus pictures 📸

Floor Drees summarized the talk she gave a PGConf EU with CloudNativePG maintainer Gabriele Bartolini last week, titled "They grow up so fast: donating your open source project to a foundation". In case you're curious about the project's origin story: dev.to/floord/they-... #Postgres #Kubernetes

And the mask for her kiddo too... so good #kpopdemonhunters #halloween

Thank you to my colleagues for agreeing to join me in fulfilling this role—it's not glamorous, but it is important. @floord.bsky.social @celestehorgan.bsky.social @pavlogolub.bsky.social

At PostgreSQL Conference Europe, Floor Drees and Boriss Mejías are helping shape a week that bridges the technical and the human sides of Postgres: from designing databases and understanding MVCC to exploring mental health and neurodiversity in open source. Let's dive in!

Yesterday, I co-organized 2 meetings for PGConf EU's Community Events Day: the PostgreSQL on Kubernetes Summit and the Community Organizers Conf Slides, pictures, and notes (thanks to the scribers) for the respective events: wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PGConf.... & wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PGConf....

Look at what my very talented friend made!! #kdh #Kpopdemonhunters #Halloween 🎃

Gabriele Bartolini and Floor Drees look forward to their PGConf EU talk, and the #PostgreSQL on Kubernetes Summit next week - they think cloud native and databases mix very well:

For @talkingpostgres.com @clairegiordano.bsky.social talked to Global Solutions Architect @tchorix.bsky.social about his marvelous brain, and ability to make connections that help people understand complex systems: talkingpostgres.com/episodes/the... Boriss wrote a blog too: dev.to/bmejias/how-...

Hey fam, we just passed the 7000 stars mark on GitHub! Thanks for all the support and work, we couldn't have done this without the community 🫶 github.com/cloudnative-...

I dislike RTO for a number of reasons (namely, not everyone likes living in big cities) but I also just need people to understand that on my period I am doing you a kindness if I work from home

I guess I *am* pristine like a freshwater pearl, Duo.

I had a lot of fun talking to you Claire Giordano. Thanks for the invitation. I also wrote something about what inspired this topic dev.to/bmejias/how-... I hope the episode is useful to #PostgreSQL folks and anyone actually.

Does anyone on this thing know crunchyroll.com and can tell me it's legit?

One of the headlining features of PostgreSQL 18 is virtual generated columns, which our Chief Architect Peter Eisentraut worked on. He tells the engaging story of that feature on the EDB blog: www.enterprisedb.com/blog/journey... #PostgreSQL #PG18

If I see a labubu at a conference I swear to God...

🌍 Call for Members – PostgreSQL Europe Diversity Committee! 🌍 Help shape diversity & inclusion in the PostgreSQL community: scholarships, outreach & event support. 👉 Apply here: www.postgresql.eu/diversity/di... #PostgreSQL #Diversity #Community

This September twelve EDB colleagues started their journey to becoming #PostgreSQL developers. We'll follow them and their patches as they progress: www.enterprisedb.com/blog/barcelo...

We had a great time at @pgdayna.org! The slides for our lightning talks live here: www.enterprisedb.com/event/pgday-... With (that) business out of the way, here are some quick pictures with a VIP: the Vesuvio vulcano. We'll be back soon for (fried) pizza 🍕 Thanks for the hospitality, @pgdba.org!

I love this honest and funny post from Jacob. Worth a read if you're curious how someone can stay motivated year 4 into getting a feature included into PostgreSQL:

PostgreSQL 18 ships with support for OAuth 2.0. Jacob Champion, Principal Software Engineer at EDB, posted the first proof-of-concept for this feature back in 2021. He shares the journey (and some spicy opinions) on the blog: www.enterprisedb.com/blog/develop...

Our Perspectives on PostgreSQL 18 series spotlights the people behind the release. Here, Jacob Champion talks about the 4 year path to PostgreSQL’s new OAuth feature and how EDB makes room for the long, collaborative timelines that open source demands.

So grateful thinking back on PgDay Lowlands last week. Huge thanks to my fellow organizers Boriss Mejías, Teresa Lopes, Derk van Veen, Sarah Conway, Anastasia Raspopina, and Nico Rikken. Hope everyone will join us again next year, Utrecht is beautiful in September 🐘🌷 @pgdaylowlands.bsky.social

We had a great time at @pgdaylowlands.bsky.social last week. Our Gianni Ciolli and @jonnylee31.bsky.social had sessions at the event, @tchorix.bsky.social and @floord.bsky.social are organizers for the annual conference. No-FOMO, you can play back the live stream: www.youtube.com/live/tJYEuIp...

That first debate was so fun, what do you think: #PostgreSQL on Kubernetes - just because you can, doesn't mean you should? Or match made in heaven (get it, because it's cloud native?!)? Get ready to discuss the benefits and drawbacks with autotuning: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJYE...

If you're watching the live stream today - the song we're playing is by ThomasDave, and available on Spotify: https//open.spotif... Enjoy Rotterdam vibes!

PGDay Lowlands has kicked off, some first pictures showing our community coming together! Pictures by honkingelephant.com

Gabriele Quaresima is a SDE at EDB, where he builds products on top of CloudNativePG. The open source operator and the closed source ones running on top of it represent his learning path and entry point to Kubernetes and the PostgreSQL world: cloudnative-pg.io/blog/contrib...

Large EDB delegation at PGDay UK, despite the challenges with public transport in London this week. Topically, Bruce Momjian just talked about "Future Postgres Challenges", or: the stuff that keeps the people in leadership positions for the project up at night 👻 2025.pgday.uk @pgday.uk

Couple of quick snaps from yesterday's PGDay Austria, we presented talks on several topics (SLRUs, CloudNativePG, and no/low code open source contributions), and took part in the "Database Deathmatch" - we heard unconfirmed rumors about a recording... #PostgreSQL

Some "PGDay Lowlanders" are in Vienna for PGDay Austria this week. 8 more days to the conference, get your ticket today: 2025.pgday.nl

Update! Karen Jex donated this cutie to the prize pool for our Testing Challenge - truly, what's keeping you from testing the Postgres beta release?! 2025.pgday.nl/testing-pg/

We got a little something-something in the making... 🐘 🌷 ALT: pictures show the process of handcrafting PGDay Lowlands keychains

Submit your talk to the Summit at the Community Events Day at PGConf.EU. CFP closes on 1 September 👉 https://2025.pgconf.... Do you run Postgres on Kubernetes? Tell us about it. Work with or maintain an operator? We want to hear from you. Think databases don’t belong on K8s? That’s a story too.
