When PostgreSQL royalty meets Ilya and Stefan at PgDay FOSDEM 🐘

PostgreSQL events like this are where ideas are exchanged, experience is shared, and the connections that shape the ecosystem are strengthened.

OH "I should have said at the beginning of my talk that all of this is vapourwa...ongoing research."

#PGDay #FOSDEM

Presentation slide titled "How much changed in Postgres 18?" featuring a grid of statistics. Several hand-drawn white arrows point emphatically to an orange box in the bottom right displaying the statistic: "35,704 pgsql-hackers mailing list posts."

From @clairegiordano.bsky.social's talk at #FOSDEM #PGDay 2026. Almost THREE THOUSAND EMAILS per MONTH on the #PostgreSQL #development mailing list pgsql-hackers. 🥺🙏 Please, please split the dev workflow and mailing list into interest areas. #Postgres

Jimmy Angelakos speaking on stage

TIL Postgres 18 enables page checksums by default.

Glad to see it’s happened. Feels like it’s been part of the standard advice for a long time now.
