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!

On my way home from PGDay CERN, it was amazing to be back at #CERN, exactly 5 years later and deliver a talk again! 🚀
This time I was fortunate enough to visit the epic #ATLAS Cavern. 👩🔬 ✨
Thanks to Swiss PUG, Tobias, Maurizio, Andrzej, Miro and everyone else included! This was epic!

Even though I am no longer working at EDB, I was happy to learn my RAG app with Postgres and the pgvector post was the most viewed article in 2024.
It seems they removed my name as the author and renamed it to EDB team though 😅

Until my kiddo gets her own Spotify account, her songs are played the most for the past 5 years 😅
This is also a privilege, I am so lucky to be able to put my daughter to bed every night and we have a safe peaceful home where she is protected. A lot to be grateful for ♥️

I was invited to the @maintainable.bsky.social podcast hosted by @robbyrussell.bsky.social. We talked about what makes software maintainable and naturally we also talked about Postgres.
I shared some of the highlights of our conversation in my last blog post 👇🏽
