We’re moving from AI that primarily answers our questions to AI that can increasingly act on our behalf. And the more AI can do, the more important it becomes to think about what sits underneath it.

In fast-moving markets, the difference between acting on an insight and missing it is often measured in minutes. Customers tell us the same thing over and over: by the time their data warehouse returns the answer, the window to act has already closed. Not because the data wasn't there. Not because the team wasn't paying attention. But because the moment everyone logs in at once, the moment every dashboard refreshes at the same time, the warehouse buckles under the load.

In the agentic era, the ultimate competitive advantage isn’t the model—it’s the data. Who owns it, how it is governed, and how reliably it powers real-time decisions will separate the leaders from the rest. For enterprises in secure, regulated industries, the demands are even higher: They need AI that is fast, compliant, and fully under their control.

April 8 marked the start of feature freeze for PostgreSQL 19.

From April until the final release in the second part of the year, the community works on beta releases, bug fixes, and documentation.

Detailed guide on expanding WarehousePG database clusters on new hosts using the gpexpand utility, covering prerequisites, segment count strategy, and data redistribution.

It’s Saturday morning. Somewhere across your network, a payment fails. Then another. Then another. The customer at the counter tries their card twice, gets an apologetic look from the barista, and finds another way to pay. They don't call your support line. They don't file a complaint. They just make a quiet mental note that they trust you a little less than they did yesterday.

We wrote about the program we run internally for colleagues who show promise for PostgreSQL development on this blog before. Last week, a good portion of that group met in-person for the 3rd time.

The email arrives like it always does. Quietly, months before the deadline. Long enough to feel like a choice. Short enough that the pressure is already building. The Oracle renewal notice. And with it, the number.

PGConf.Brasil takes place in Blumenau, September 2-4. The Brazilian PostgreSQL conference is organized in cooperation with the Brazillian PostgreSQL Association.

It starts the same way, every Monday morning checking the on-prem cluster first, then switching to a different tool for the cloud environment, opening another window for the hybrid deployment, logging into yet another dashboard for the external Postgres clusters that technically aren't their responsibility but somehow always find their way onto their plate.

It’s 2:17AM. A DBA jolts awake to their phone screaming. Latency is spiking. An application is timing out. Somewhere, a production system is failing and somewhere else, a customer is noticing. This…
