Richard Yen: PGDay Boston 2026
PGDay Boston 2026 was a rewarding reminder of why I value the PostgreSQL community so much. It was delightful to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new people, and finally put some faces to names for the first time. One of the best parts of the day was the sense that this community is larger than any one employer or project. It is built on shared curiosity, shared responsibility, and a willingness to help one another learn. I’m honored to have been able to share my own thoughts in my Disaster Recovery talk as well.

Christoph Berg: PGConf.dev 2026 in Vancouver
The old Postgres Conferences always sounded interesting, but the conference being in Ottawa in Canada and me being in Europe, I've always dismissed them as "too far away" and never bothered going.
Then the organizing team changed and the conference moved to Vancouver for 2024. That's even further away. 2025 in Montreal was a bit closer again, but…

Vibhor Kumar: pg_background 2.0: Run SQL in the Background, Now Cleaner, Safer, and Ready for PostgreSQL 19
Every PostgreSQL developer eventually reaches the same architectural boundary, although the boundary usually appears as an ordinary product request rather than a database design problem. An application transaction needs to complete one business operation, but the surrounding platform also needs to write an audit record, launch a slow report, refresh a cache, fire a notification, or start some enrichment logic that should not delay the user.

Andrew Atkinson: Beta Testing PostgreSQL With Docker
The Postgres community values feedback from testing of Beta releases, and with Docker it’s been easier to get pre-release versions up and running.
With the recent announcement of PostgreSQL 19 Beta 1, let’s get that running and test some of the new capabilities.

Shaun Thomas: Looking Forward to Postgres 19: Query Hints
Well, the world has officially ended. Peter Venkman from Ghostbusters was right all along, and we'll soon be experiencing "human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!" Pack it in everybody; we had a great run. The feature freeze of Postgres 19 includes the one feature many claimed would never see the light of day: query hints. I guess "never say never" is pretty good advice.OK, so they're not technically called hints. The Postgres community would never be so pedestrian.
