S3 only became strongly consistent recently. It is a major feat to do so. I can imagine doing it without controlling the storage layer, network topology and specially network latency is only harder. Could you please elaborate a bit more on

For those curious: the root cause for the incident is, ultimately, degraded statistics on a table. There are a set of high frequency (very frequently run queries) that are quite sensible to plan flipping (they normally run with a given exec

Postgres checkup ( https://postgres.ai/products/postgres-checkup ) produces very detailed and complete reports easily. This is my recommendation.

The absence of CRDs is a significant lacking. They enable abstraction, composability and reusability. Even if Kubernetes may be more complex, deploying complex jobs on Nomad may become (much) more complex than CRD-powered complex equivalent

Indeed. I see this as a very open and collaborative approach. To announce such a big contribution to Postgres, and be it open sourced when published, is very welcome, and I believe one of the boosts, as I mentioned in the post, that Postgre

OP. One of my fears. That unless we, as the PostgreSQL Community, do something about it, and embrace the efforts that AWS started doing and I hope will continue, it would effectively end up being a fork. And a fork with a collaboration on G

OP. This is a very good and fair question. Postgres is growing a lot, but is it growing enough, according to its true potential? It has everything: incredibly robust and trusted; very large feature set; not under any company's directio

Logs, unless specifically being told otherwise, are assumed to be in text format. Even if they may contain binary blobs (which are normally unexpected, and not really conformant), they are still supposed to be text format. Surely you can st

I have been bitten by this many times. Null character in strings, as weird as it sounds like, happens in real life. It just happens. The pattern I have seen the most is logs. More often than not logs may embed binary chunks, which may conta

As this is a public reference: GitLab's Postgres cluster handles peaks of 300K tps, where the master node alone supports around 60K-80K. And this is not in-memory (datasize in the order of 8TB, RAM 600GB). https://about.gitl
