semab tariq: When Patroni Silently Deletes Your Replication Slots
If you have ever been in the middle of a database migration and suddenly found your logical replication slots missing, you know how unsettling that feeling is. No obvious error. No warning. Just gone. That is exactly what happened to us while migrating data from a Patroni-managed cluster to a standalone PostgreSQL cluster. What started as a smooth operation turned into a debugging session that taught us something important about how Patroni behaves after a restart.The SetupWe were running a d...

Shaun Thomas: Looking Forward to Postgres 19: It's About Time
Recently, a new type of question has entered the database arena: what did this data look like last Tuesday? Maybe it's the price of a product before the holiday sale kicked in, or which department an employee belonged to before that reorg nobody asked for. Short of adding an entire audit trigger system, how can we know what data looked like before and after a change at that exact date?The SQL:2011 standard formalized a proper solution over a decade ago with temporal tables. Other database eng...

Why We're Moving Away from Just Migration-Driven Database Development
Hey everyone, Over the last few years, we've built SaaS products, internal tools, AI applications, and custom software for clients across different industries. Like many teams in the PostgreSQL ecosystem, we've relied on tools such as pg-schema-diff, Migra, and various migration workflows to manage database changes. These tools are excellent at what they do, but we often found ourselves assembling a collection of separate tools and processes to support a complete database development workflow...

Andrew Dunstan: Buildfarm Query API
A colleague asked me recently if there was an API for querying the PostgreSQL Buildfarm database. I told him there was not. I'm aware that a number of people have been scraping the web pages for data, so it seemed like there was a good case for something better. And with a little help from claude code, I create one. It's live now. There's a full description at https://github.com/PGBuildFarm/server-code/blob/main/API.mdI'm particularly interested to hear from people how this might be usefully ...
