Generate a picture "Christmas morning with Google codelab and coffee" + add something unique. Here is what I got:

Do you know what is amazing about AlloyDB NL2SQL feature? It understands all languages out of box. It gets the question and then returns the answer in the most universal way - in SQL . We have a codelab to try it out - have a look. bit.ly/3VeoS96 @developers.google.com #NL2SQL #PostgreSQL

Are you using vector semantic search in MySQL? My colleague Shu Zhou has written a blog "Optimizing MySQL Vector Indexes for Efficient Similarity Search" - take a look - goo.gle/3XHgOzh @googledevs #CloudSQl #MySQL #AI

I am testing Gemini 3 with AlloyDB extension in Gemini CLI and it works. It knows how to connect, knows how to check your databases etc. I think the new model is a very significant step forward in quality for agentic work.

Thank you @pgconf.eu for the great event and opportunity to share knowledge and opinions. Great community and great conference! See you all in 2026!

PGConf NYC would like to thank all of our speakers! The great content you presented helped make the first PGConf NYC 2025 a success! Thank you! @PostgreSQL #postgres #conference

PGConf NYC would like to thank everyone who attended our conference! We hope you enjoyed the content we presented and that we’ll see you at future events! @PostgreSQL #postgres #conference

We've added an introduction to connectivity and what to choose when you are setting up a connection to AlloyDB. Please have a look and let us know what you think and what we are missing. goo.gle/42m8is8 @developers.google.com #AlloyDB #PostgreSQL

Now it is even simpler to use AlloyDB through extensions from Gemini-cli!

And here we are - PostgreSQL 18 has been released! Tons of new stuff - asynchronous IO, better performance, faster upgrades, more information in EXPLAIN and and a lot of other new features. @pgus.bsky.social www.postgresql.org/about/news/p...

Multimodal AI models give more flexibility and options for semantic search in your data, and AlloyDB offers out-of-the-box support for Google's multimodal embeddings. Try it by yourself with the AlloyDB codelab: bit.ly/3JA9aTm. We welcome your feedback! @developers.google.com #AlloyDB #PostgreSQL

Haven't played with NL2SQL in AlloyDB yet? Yes, AlloyDB gets NL2SQL using SQL interface to configure and tune it to your data. The feature is in preview and any feedback is highly appreciated. Here is a codelab to start testing it - bit.ly/4mt7NEG @developers.google.com #AlloyDB

Have you heard about GIN? Not the beverage but the index type. It works great for JSONB but you need to remember what JSON operators are supported and what options for GIN index are available. I've written a short blog bit.ly/4kSdzOA #Google #PostgreSQL

Have you ever wondered about indexes for your JSON data type in PostgreSQL? I've written a blog about B-tree indexes for your JSON data types in PostgreSQL. bit.ly/3IOBJMi #PostgreSQL #GoogleCloud

Recently we've announced that AlloyDB instances can be started and stopped. I wrote a blog with an example of start/stop automation through Cloud Scheduler, Pub/Sub and Cloud Run Functions. Have a look and try it out. bit.ly/45rdCNg

Now you can start and stop AlloyDB instances from UI or command line to reduce cost for the dev environments when you don't need them and starting it back with the same network endpoints and parameters. Read about it in the docs goo.gle/4kpkjDU #GoogleCloud #AlloyDB

Have you already tried the latest Google Gemini embedding model? It is available in AlloyDB out of the box in the embedding function. Read in the blog how it evaluates New York style vs Montreal bagels. bit.ly/3ZujIbZ

Hi everyone! Recently we've announced a preview for some new AI operators in AlloyDB. Try it out in our new codelab and let us know what you think. #GoogleCloud #AlloyDB #AI #Postgres bit.ly/4dydFIX

My 3d Boston marathon is done. Great race and the most engaged spectators ever. If you plan to have headphones and listen to the music during the run - you will probably not hear a thing. Congrats to all runners and thanks tons to people of Boston for the hospitality! #BostonMarathon #Running

Do you know that now Cloud SQL for MySQL has a direct integration (in preview) with Vertex AI and allows you to integrate embeddings, Gen AI or custom models calls directly into your database routines using SQL. Try our new codelab bit.ly/codelab-csql... #googledevs #MySQL

Have you heard that you can now create an #AlloyDB instance using the Google Axion CPU (C4A type) and with a minimal configuration of only 1 CPU and 8Gb memory. That's probably the ideal developments, demos and functional testing. Give it a try. #Postgres

Are you attending Google Next? We are hosting a database professionals meetup! Come to talk about databases at Google Cloud and share your thoughts, meet new folks and let us know where we can help you. @googlecloud → g.co/cloudnext

I’m speaking at Google Cloud Next 25 about AlloyDB Omni on Kubernetes along with local AI models on Apr-11 at 11AM PDT . Join the discussion with @GoogleCloud → g.co/cloudnext

【 Build with Gemini / Developers Summit 】 Next Tuesday in Paris! If you speak 🇬🇧 or 🇺🇸 (even if most of the content is in 🇫🇷) there's always one talk in English throughout the day in parallel to the French presentations! 👉 So don't hesitate to register! cloudonair.withgoogle.com/events/build...

Are you using a database for local development? Sometimes it is much more convenient to have a database running locally on your laptop. I wrote a short blog about using AlloyDB Omni as such a local PostgreSQL development environment on a Macbook. #PostgreSQL #AlloyDB medium.com/google-cloud...

Have you already heard that you can get coding help from Gemini Code Assist for free? By the way it can not only help with the code but also answer important questions like “What is better - Montreal or New York style bagels?” blog.google/technology/d...

Some time ago I wrote a blog about using AlloyDB Omni with local AI models on Kubernetes. I’ve also created a codelab to try it out in the Google GKE environment. Have a look, try it and let me know what you think. #Postgres #AlloyDB #Omni #AI codelabs.developers.google.com/alloydb-omni...

Published a short video about RAG and interactive apps on Youtube. Have a look and let me know what you think. (I know - another boring RAG vide) but if you are bored on Monday here it is youtu.be/tgcixab_Yk8?...
