I stan for the Slopometer #fosdem

Michiel Leenaars in his talk at #fosdem: "There is no Claude, just other people's code" (reference: there is no Cloud, just someone else's computer) @fosdem.org

For the first time since I started attending FOSDEM in 2010, there will be no PostgreSQL Devroom in 2026. ​Feels unbelievable for one of the defining open source projects of the last decade. At least there's #FOSDEMPGDay. #PostgreSQL #Postgres #FOSDEM #Devroom #Community #OpenSource #FOSDEM2026

If this ends up being true, and I struggle to see how it won’t, this is a very very bad look. Trying to “wordsmith” your way out of a breach will not pay off, you may think it will but it will burn you. You don’t need graphic detail but you do need honesty doublepulsar.com/oracle-attem...

Devrim from EDB is giving us a lightning talk about 75 slides long #postgresql #database #copenhagen

Yesterday we published our open-source Xata agent to help everyone get better at managing their Postgres databases. Let me know what you think! And @simonwillison.net has already tried it and shared his feedback 👇🏽

Hello, #PostgreSQL community! I’m excited to introduce a new community project: "Installing and Configuring PostgreSQL Extensions via RPMs"! yum.postgresql.org/extensions/

HYTRADBOI ("Have you tried rubbing a database on it?", @hytradboi.bsky.social) is happening again! It's a really cool, forward-looking online event on everything databases. Highly recommend to check it out and attend. Happening on Feb 28, 9:00-15:00 PDT. www.hytradboi.com/2025

Our Postgres in WASM project, @pglite.dev, has hit 1/2 million downloads a week! 🤯 We (@electric-sql.com) have a lot planned for (native... 😉) PGlite this year, exciting times ahead!

Great idea! I always wondered how all these DB platforms could implement full Postgres compatibility and assumed it was mostly T-SQL syntax and enough auth + config support to use a standard Postgres JDBC / ODBC driver.

So many databases claim to be compatible with #Postgres these days, but what does that really mean? @pgdba.bsky.social tries to provide an objective answer with the Postgres Compatibility Index, which verifies compatibility in a wide range of criteria. Loving to see this effort!

Leveling up! Sleek new web app for the Postgres Compatibility Index is live. Big thanks to Contributors: @gunnarmorling.dev , @tudor.golubenco.org , Frank Pachot, Deepak Mahto , Matt Cornillon and Akash. Postgres.Is 🚀✨ 🐘 Blog => tinyurl.com/3wr3vy5x

New episode of #TalkingPostgres #podcast #PostgreSQL committer Robert Haas joined to talk about mentoring in Postgres: why it matters, his own experiences, what would Tom Lane do, the new PostgreSQL Hackers Mentoring program, & more 🎧 talkingpostgres.com/episodes/why... 📺 youtu.be/4wSDnx8di6o?...

And if you're looking to give a #PostgreSQL talk this year, the #CFP (call for proposals) for #PosetteConf is still open until Sunday Feb 9 at 11:59pm PST! Carpe diem, what Postgres database 🐘 stories & expertise & experiences do you want to share? Boosts appreciated, so more ppl are reminded 🚀

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? DevOps: It is running on us-east-1

Good morning and happy Thor's day, Skeeteroonies of the Universe. Still working off-site, but this is the last time. Integration testing can be a pain. Stay safe. We can make it through to the weekend! Found this on the Internet and shamelessly stole it. It fits my work this week.

End-to-end demo of the new pg_incremental extension. There's raw events table and a summary table containing view counts. You then define a pipeline using an insert..select command, and keeps running that to do fast, reliable, incremental processing in the background.

I'm about to rebrand all my cron jobs to AI agents and raise a $100,000,000 seed round.

Join us in Riga, Latvia on 21-24 October https://www.postgresql.eu/events/pgconfeu2025/news/join-us-in-riga-latvia-on-21-24-october-153/

Bullish on acid compliant, relational systems/databases that don't require multiple nodes to stay practically mostly available. 😇🐘

Big Data was yesterday. Today we've got Colossal Data! www.commitstrip.com/en/2014/06/0... Just because the comic is old doesn't mean it's wrong.

The way DBOS works is pretty cool - it the “state” of every Function execution in Postgres. If you're a gamer, it's a bit like having a “save point" in your programs. Check out how it work here: supabase.com/blog/durabl...

🚀 Postgres Compatibility Index (PCI): Think your shiny new Postgres derivative is "Postgres-compatible"? Test it, score it, and know the truth. 🐘 Thanks @gunnarmorling.dev @tudor.golubenco.org @benesch.bsky.social @deverts.bsky.social for the inspiration. Blog ==> tinyurl.com/mmfcbczz

Jepsen Test on Patroni: A PostgreSQL High Availability Solution

Woot, very cool to see this idea of establishing a Postgres TCK of sorts being explored!

The latest paper from the #1 CMU-DB PhD student @samarchdb.bsky.social is wild compilation magic! He automatically makes UDFs run 300x faster on SQL Server and 1.3x faster on DuckDB. Code: github.com/SamArch27/PR... Paper: www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol18/...

Here's an effort to standardize what "Postgres compatible" means.

"Postgres compatible" - No views/triggers/sequences - No foreign key constraints - No extensions - No NOTIFY ("ERROR: Function pg_notify not supported") - No nested transactions - No JSONB What, what IS it compatible with?
