The Cyber ​​Resilience Act is an EU regulation that came into force in 2024 and will take full effect in the coming years. It obligates software manufacturers to implement specific measures to ensure the security and quality of the software they produce.

Many users are looking for data encryption solutions, for security and compliance reasons. In many cases, targeted solutions for column-level encryption can be appropriate and in some cases offer even better security and compliance than full-disk encryption or TDE.

Predicting the future often requires a look into the past. In this keynote, we will revisit the 2013 PGConf.EU keynote, “PostgreSQL in 5 years - Expectations from the marketplace,” to see how far we’ve come and use those insights to project what the future holds for Postgres.

pg_failover_slots is a new extension released this year that facilitates maintaining logical replication and logical change capture during physical replication failover and switchover. This is, arguably, an essential component of being able to use logical replication reliably.

For most of the existence of the PostgreSQL project, the SQL standard was treated as something that was mysteriously thrown over the fence every few years. No longer: PostgreSQL community members including myself have been involved in the development of the SQL standard for a few years now, and I can shed some light on the process.

forwardLogical replication in PostgreSQL is moving forward. PostgreSQL 15 and beyond will see a variety of new features such as row filtering, sequence replication, and improved error handling.

Mit der logischen Replikation in PostgreSQL geht es voran. In PostgreSQL 15 und in der näheren Zukunft wird es eine Anzahl neuer Features geben, zum Beispiel Zeilenfiltern, Sequenz-Replikation und verbesserte Fehlerbehandlung.

Over many years of PostgreSQL development I have collected a lot of information about setting up a development environment and assorted notes about the development process that would be worth sharing. If you are new to PostgreSQL development, this can help you get set up.

In this talk I want to present current developments in the world of graph databases and discuss how we could extend and evolve PostgreSQL to work well with graph data.
