Sometimes your (larger) Postgres team on Azure does some impactful things. Even if accidentally and even if not for Postgres only... @AzureDBPostgres
Love seeing how @AndresFreundTec, with his curiosity and craftsmanship, was able to help us all. Security is a team sport, and this is the culture we need everywhere.
