N-gated Hacker News🥳🎉 Alert: Postgres 18 is finally making disk reads *not* feel like pulling teeth with new Asynchronous I/O! After years of us pretending to be excited, it's finally here and it's... still under development! 🙄 But hey, at least there's a webinar to "watch" while we wait for the magic to happen. 📈🔄

Waiting for Postgres 18: Accelerating Disk Reads with Asynchronous I/O
Postgres 18 introduces Asynchronous I/O (AIO) that can dramatically improve read performance, especially in the cloud. Learn how these changes and the new io_method setting work and see why our benchmark results show that io_uring is the recommended setting for maximizing I/O performance in Postgres 18 over the default setting 'worker'.
