Postgres Ibiza 2025: October 15-17th

Postgres Ibiza 2025 is back in October. A three-day event split into:

I recently completed a training session for one of our customer on best practices for achieving HA clusters with Patroni and Pgpool in PostgreSQL. During the sessions, different points were discussed, but I’d like to highlight a few that should be carefully considered when designing HA clusters.

The programme for PGConf.EU 2025, taking place on 21–24 October in Riga, is now live!

Discover the exciting lineup of world-class PostgreSQL speakers and exciting topics that await you on the schedule for this year.

This year’s conference also features a Community Events Day on Tuesday, with limited spaces available.

We look forward to seeing you in Riga in October!

I just gave a new presentation at PGConf.Brazil titled Three Key Attributes of Postgres. It is similar to my existing The Postgres Trajectory talk, but with more of a business and global focus. It also a psql output slide full of puns at the beginning, and hints to the puns at the end.

I've just returned from the rapidly growing Free and Open Source Yearly conference, or FOSSY 2025, which took place from July 31st - August 3rd, 2025, in Portland, Oregon. Organized by the incredible team at the Software Freedom Conservancy, the event was an awesome gathering of minds dedicated to the principles of free and open-source software.

Introduction

We have explored how to create cluster, take backups, connect to the cluster and run psql commands in our CNPG series. However, one might feel overwhelmed because of those day - to - day operations. That is why CNPG provides a kubectl plugin. CloudNativePG' s plugin enriches kubectl with a set of PostgreSQL - focused commands, making easier to inspect clusters, trigger backups, promote a new instance, run pgbench and run psql commands without leaving existing terminal.
