Our CTO Tudor Golubenco is speaking tonight at the PostgreSQL Berlin Meetup, hosted at Zalando.
The talk: How we reduced CloudNativePG wake-up times from 20+ seconds to sub-second for Xata's scale-to-zero Postgres clusters.

pgstream v1.0.0 is out, with a major architectural change.
Schema changes are now emitted directly into WAL as logical messages, without schema logs or stored schema state.
If you work with Postgres CDC, this might be interesting.

Hettie is having her cake day!

Gulcin is womanning the 2ndQ booth, there is also Pavel :)
First time (in the phone archive), 2016. It was only a single track back then and all talks were in Czech with the exception of one English talk.
My contribution to the 2016 trend 😄 Apparently the first time I attended #P2D2 was 10 years ago. Over the years I worked at 2ndQuadrant, EDB and now @xata.io. Some things didn’t change: still talking about Postgres, helping organize, womanning booths and having fun 🤩

Voting for @pg-data.bsky.social talks this weekend 🗳️
So many wonderful proposals, thanks everyone who submitted!
Decided to walk Camino Francés route of Camino de Santiago this October with a feminist group of women. I am so excited!
@divyendusingh.com is doing a great job making agents do all sorts of stuff using databases. In our case with a few simple instructions, they are able to do branching operations, run queries, validate bug fixes and more.
The blog posts are paired with demo videos, have a look 👀 👇🏽
Taking database snapshots and moving large volumes of data over the network is something our customers do regularly. While batching is the de facto way to make this efficient choosing the right batch size is non-trivial considering network variability, latency & system load.
Read how we solved it👇🏽
If you want to understand how constraint enforcement works internally, @apatheticmagpie.bsky.social breaks it down beautifully in her latest blog:
👉 xata.io/blog/constra...
PostgreSQL stores *all* constraints: check, not-null, PK, FK, unique, exclusion and domain constraints as rows in `pg_constraint` catalog.
In Postgres 18, even NOT NULL constraints now get their own entries here (before 18 they lived in `pg_attribute`!).

Little joys in life: Getting into Postgres Weekly with your blog 🎉
🔗 xata.io/blog/constra...
🐘 postgresweekly.com/issues/628
Postgres constraints are the rules that keep your data clean.
Types tell you *what* can be stored but constraints enforce *what must be true*.
If a row violates a rule, Postgres rejects it. No silent corruption.
A few well-chosen constraints prevent entire classes of bugs.

I wrote about Postgres constraints and covered deferrability concept and a few not-so-well-known gems like constraint triggers and domains 💎

A few days ago my 6yo asked me to play a song from Stratovarius, I think I reached the parental peak. It is only downhill from now on 😅 I didn’t listen to them since college. Rediscovered a piece of my past thanks to my little genie. Now writing a Postgres blog to celebrate my new found joy 🤘🏽
I love the offsites we do twice a year at @xata.io ☀️Building stronger bonds with my colleagues while working on Xata’s roadmap feels quite amazing. I am grateful for this opportunity ☺️ 🇮🇹

The first day of PGConf.EU was a blast! 💥
I had the chance to co-organize two community summits: PostgreSQL on Kubernetes and Postgres & AI. Thanks to my co-organizers Floor Drees, Ellyne Phneah and Torsten Steinbach, I had a great time and all went amazingly!
Day 1 at #PGConfEU kicked off with Community Summits!
Our own Gülçin Yıldırım Jelínek is co-organizing two of them
☸️ PostgreSQL on Kubernetes Summit
🧠 PostgreSQL & AI Summit
Big thanks to the volunteers & speakers who made this happen.
Community is what makes Postgres great 💙
Glad to see #pgroll popping up in my timeline 🎉
If anyone has questions or feedback I am here 📝
Then on the main track Esther Minano & Ahmet Gedemenli dive into anonymization and Gulcin on Postgres 18 constraints.
Get the schedule: www.postgresql.eu/events/pgcon...
The countdown to #PGConfEU is on ⏳
On Oct 21, @apatheticmagpie is co-hosting two community summits:
🧠 PostgreSQL & AI with Gulcin on DB Agents
☸️ PostgreSQL on Kubernetes with Esther Minano & Andrew Farries
What is your current song fixation? 🍂
Wherever I went I always knew, always knew
Till I didn't know
Why do I do this to myself every time?
I know the way it ends before it's even begun
I am the only one at the finish line

🧬 This is cool!
..designing a whole genome is challenging owing to complex interactions between genes and gene replication and regulation processes. “There are many important biological functions that you can only access if you’re able to design complete genomes.”

Can an AI agent handle your Postgres on-call?
@divyendusingh.com from @xata.io is speaking at the Postgres Berlin Meetup tomorrow showing how we’re using LLMs to automate DB diagnostics, fixes, and even PRs.
Come see “Xata Agent” in action.

Oh, just saw Neosync was archived:
⚠️ Disclaimer: Neosync has been acquired by Grow Therapy. As a result, this repository is no longer actively maintained.
We've been using Neosync transformers in pgstream, so we'll have to find a replacement or extend our own transformers to cover the gaps.

It was a really fun conference and well organized!
I am really proud of the work we did here, finding ways to optimize resources used by database branches and make sure all is safe while we do that!
We also open-sourced a CNPG-I plugin for scale-to-zero, so you can also give it a try!
