A blog born out of a discussion between me and my husband @pg_dwc ... I know there has to be a query for this and I don't think AI can do it 🙌

We are living through a Postgres Renaissance. Just in the last ~12 months: • Snowflake acquired Crunchy Data for ~$250M • Databricks acquired Neon for ~$1 billion • Supabase raised THREE Series (C->D->E) totalling over $380M in funding and more than 5'xing its valuation

I gave a talk at @djangocon about Postgres dev environments and the PostgreSQL Anonymizer was really popular. @ErSanyamKhurana just wrote Django wrapper for it! https://t.co/8oJ2ZV4kK7 🙌

At a Postgres conf in NYC today and realizing what a different place Postgres is in today compared to what is was just a year ago. My lunch table - Snowflake, Databricks, Clickhouse, and AWS.

When you're married to a Postgres person and you share everything - including a job, a house, and a bunch of kids ... pretty sure GROUP BY ALL is the ultimate SQL patch to represent that. ❤️ 🐘

Postgres 18 is like watching your favorite player step up to the plate and you know they're going to knock it out of the park ⚾️🧢. Super excited to see the async i/o numbers start rolling in for test systems.
Postgres 18 will be out later this month. The biggest news is asynchronous I/O which will be turned on by default for clusters and expected to mean read performance gains for everyone. More features and details in our blog ⬇️ https://t.co/kAvDiRFYuw

Other Postgres vendors’ tweets: "Our product is the best!" @crunchydata's tweets: "Here are some tips for everyday Postgres users and some deep-dive internals posts if you really wanna nerd out." 😲 (just kidding - much love to all the Postgres vendors ❤️)
