#Postgres #PostgreSQL #Developer #Conference #PGConfdev

We're heading to Vancouver! 🇨🇦

Our maintainer Daniele Varrazzo will be speaking at @pgconfdev next week, giving a talk on libpq - the PostgreSQL client library at the heart of Psycopg - and how we can help clients get even more out of PostgreSQL

If you're attending, don't miss it. And if you're around, come say hello! 👋

The #Postgres open source project is 30 this year. To mark the occasion, we're preparing a slideshow with photos from the past and present of the project - events, funny and interesting photos. We plan to present it at pgconfd.dev in Vancouver (~1 month from now), and then also publish it on the web.

If you have taken such photos, or if you know where we could find them, we'd like to know! Feel free to ping me here, shoot me an e-mail, or something.

🎙️ New #TalkingPostgres #podcast Ep38 is out!

Gwen Shapira @gwenshap (co-founder at Nile) joined to talk about her journey with Oracle, NoSQL, & Postgres.

Talking to Gwen was so much fun, and we covered all manner of stories, including:
- If you're arguing with a customer, you've already lost.
- It's always the consultant's fault
- Use the PostgreSQL happiness hints when you're first starting with Postgres
- What happens when you try to add & remove a column 2000 times?
- How Nile was not originally meant to be a Postgres startup
- How even startups like Nile can give back to the Postgres open source project

🎙️ New #TalkingPostgres #podcast Ep37 is out!

Charles Feddersen, partner director of product for Postgres on Azure, joined me to talk about building Postgres services on Azure, his views on PM work, & his transition to Postgres 🐘 which started when he was building classic ASP apps with Microsoft Access back in Melbourne (back in the early 2000s). Lots of miles in between and all in the database space. It was fun!

🎙️ New Talking Postgres podcast Ep34 is out!

Postgres committer & major contributor @melanieplageman of Microsoft joined to dig into what developers & the community will get out of @pgconfdev

This was lively, fun, informal. I hope you enjoy listening to Melanie and me banter. And while Melanie never wanted to be a conference organizer, she is on the organizing team & chairs the program committee for PGConf.dev—and had a lot to share about how things are changing, and what you can get out of the event. Also: in 2026 Postgres will turn 30!

Deadline soon: the PGConf.dev CFP will close on Jan 16.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts. (And feedback, recommendations, shout-outs, boosts all welcome)

Ist das eigentlich Absicht dass die #MDDevDays in Magdeburg nächstes Jahr schon wieder in der gleichen Woche die #PGConfDev sind?

*Erinnerung für Vortrag einreichen auf Ende 2026 schieb*
