📣Citus 14.0 open source release is out with support for #PostgreSQL 18! 🎉 Check out the blog post for details on distributed PG18 with Citus 14, such as AIO, skip-scan, uuidv7(), OAuth, RETURNING OLD/NEW, temporal constraints, and more. citusdata.com/blog/2026/02/1…

I just submitted mine!

👀 Seen this week at Ignite, members of #PosetteConf organizing team past & present Aaron Wislang (@as_w), Adam Wolk (@mulander), & Teresa Giacomini (@tgcmn). So fun to meet in person, some for the very first time. 🎉 PS - CFP is open until Feb 1. 😜 #postgresql #cfp #friends

This makes me think. In the future will we see people flayed on stage to prove they are not robots? 🫣

@vmg @dev_retarded Have you evaluated the Citus extension? It is row-based sharding in PostgreSQL with horizontal scalability. If you did, I would be curios to know your pros/cons :)

@dev_retarded Yes, for this specific workload I don’t think those kind of globally distributed databases make sense. All the tables are explicitly sharded, so we wanted something that could scale horizontally with sharding.

This is one of the things I’ve been doing at Cursor! We’ve migrated our largest database workload, the `codebase` cluster, from AWS Aurora Limitless to PlanetScale. The cluster contains syncing metadata for all the user codebases that we index. Why did we migrate from Aurora Limitless? Basically, it’s a very poor database offering. AWS could tell that the Postgres market is very hot right now and they wanted to be first-to-market with a “sharding solution” for infinite scalability. But the product they’ve launched is veeeery far from production ready. From availability, to performance to pricing… It was just a constant stream of issues. And you know with AWS, when the system works it works quite well, but when it breaks, it’s very hard to get good support, and that made operating the cluster a nightmare. Limitless just turned out to actually have a lot of limits in practice. Why did we choose PlanetScale? I did try to stay out of the conversation, because it felt kinda lame to start pitching my previous startup right after joining a new one, and obviously I’m biased because I’ve worked really hard these past 5 years on performance for the PlanetScale platform. Overall, I think all the infra folks already had a lot of confidence on the capacity for scale Vitess has, so it boiled down to whether it actually made sense to port our Postgres workload to MySQL. Ironically, what made the choice easier is that Aurora Limitless **doesn’t support replication streams** (seriously!! it’s in the roadmap but right now you’re just locked-in if you move your data in!!!), and since we had to make major changes to perform the migration at the application level, it wasn’t a significant effort to move from Postgres to MySQL while we were at it. So yes, the migration was not easy, but the end result was 100% worth it. Despite MySQL’s many shortcomings, the performance of Vitess + MySQL at scale on PlanetScale Metal is just unreal, miles ahead of anything you can do with a Postgres-compatible database right now. Can’t wait to see what the PS team does with their sharding solution for Postgres — it feels like a massive gap on the database landscape right now.

@TheSopranosClub Signing happy birthday to AJ 🤣

What is Irina doing in 2025?

@Fluffly_4 @LRThaGhost @MortalKombat Lingering metric. I was one of those who pre ordered and ended up hugely disappointed. I’m not buying new instalments in the franchise anymore.

@LRThaGhost @MortalKombat I mean it outsold every other fighting game this gen so those games would be deleted first

Play Mortal Kombat 1 now through PS+. It’s In Our Blood!

@M4C_4T4K79 Hack the planet. Zero cool biography bro.

@kosa64 Cieszę się, że trafiła w dobre ręce :)

@nexta_tv One lifetime driving ban please!

Join us on YouTube for the Citus 13 release party! 🎉 Happening Wed 12 Mar @ 10am PDT | 1pm EDT | 6pm CET. Demos, news & good conversation. 📰👋, Several of the engineers that built this release of the Citus #PostgreSQL extension will be there. youtube.com/live/DrCu8SX2n…

Am practicing my talk for @PGConfIndia, to be presented later today here in Bengaluru… a Beginners Guide to Partitioning vs. Sharding in #PostgreSQL! If you are at #PGConfIndia, I hope you can join me!

🎉It's time to celebrate! Citus 13 has launched. A few of our #PostgreSQL engineers want to tell you all about it. There will be demos. 🖥️ Save the date! aka.ms/citus-release-…

@GergelyOrosz Counting by deployments I would suggest SQLite.

Is there a software project anywhere close in impact to that of Linux? It silently operates most things in the physical world (servers, Android phones, smart TVs, car chargers, aerospace systems, government systems etc) Oh and git is now the de facto source control across most of tech (git was the Linux community “scratch their own itch” for source control, built for their own needs as open source)

Citus on flexible server (elastic clusters) is now available in six additional regions. 🥳 techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/adforpost…
