Improving PostgreSQL: How to Overcome the Tough Challenges
- 3littlefish 3y agoDoes Yugabyte actually contribute to Postgres or just use their code?
- franckpachot 3y agoYes, everything Yugabyte does is open source
- mattashii 3y agoOpen sourcing the changes doesn't mean contributing back to PostgreSQL: Someone has to put in effort to push changes into upstream PostgreSQL, and if it's not Yugabyte, then IMO they're not contributing back.
- proleisuretour 3y agoDefinitely agree with Branson's top 10 of challenges with PostgreSQL, especially #3: "Inefficient Replication That Spreads Corruption". Postgres WAL entries are always the bottleneck of a replication stream.
- franckpachot 3y agoInteresting, that's the one I don't really agree with. Bottleneck, yes, because it is a monolithic stream for the whole database. But corruption?
- maverick894 3y agodefinitely seen issues in #1 with 32-bit transaction ID and also the problems with connections in PG, but we can sort of manage around these.
