Call of paper is still open at PGDay Fr 2025! Talks can be in English this year... And this will take place in Mons, Belgium, early June. Because PostgreSQL Fr is not about France, it's a recognized NPO about both French speaking countries and PostgreSQL ;-)
See you there!

You need to inspect correctly WALs activities in a PG container in a quick, elegant and efficient way?

This is a solution I propose, with some FILTER love embedded.

Flashback to when I was teaching a DB Intro class that was in Oracle by decree from the lecturer, and it was so obvious I hated it that in the end-of-semester student eval I found, no joke, "please just let him use Postgres it's too painful"
we'd just got off our oracle db to postgres everywhere and everyone was just so overjoyed

Looks like @golang.org 1.24 is going to be pretty epic!

Weak pointers, properly working finalizers alone might change the game! Then optimized maps, native fake clock, benchmarking reliability and ease of use, and tooling dependency management.. and more!

Weak pointers, faster maps, directory-scoped access, and more.

I think a #PostgreSQL DBA can't never be too far from infrastructure components. Today this means *also* Kubernetes, "DevOps" and so on... What's your opinion? The last article on my blog about my home lab could be a good illustration : blog.argudo.org/posts/homelab/

So I've started a blog. I hesitated *a lot* before doing this. But I've been asked again at PostgreSQL Conference Europe 2024 in Athen by someone rather young (half my age) to write my journey in the PostgreSQL Community, so I did. Feel free to read or not to read, it's a blog :-)

@crunchydata.com is just leading by innovation. That's another great example of that.

This replacing in one unique software all the "home made" solutions composed of so many parts talented engineers had to assemble in the past to do just that.
