Just published a new article on how to use UUIDv7 today with Python 3.14, Django 5.2 and PostgreSQL 18 🐍

I walk through Python generation, Django models, db_default, PostgreSQL functions, GeneratedField and even UUIDv47 for safer public IDs 🤖

Hope it's useful! 🙂

Did you know that UUIDv7 is also supported by Python 3.14?

I along with my colleague Alexander Fridriksson are diving into some of the new features in #postgres18. We just released our look at UUIDv7.

UUIDv7 is almost a no brainer for new projects, simplifying indexing strategies and giving you a time-based organizing feature across multiple sources.

Stay tuned as there will be more to explore in PostgreSQL 18 and you can try it all out for free on the Aiven Platform.

According to the 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, Postgres is the #1 database in every major category: most used, most wanted, most loved.

It’s a powerful reflection of how far the Postgres community has come and why the upcoming #Postgres18 release in September will matter even more.

In this post, Tom Kincaid, EDB SVP Database Servers and Tools, walks through eight years of survey data that chart Postgres’s incredible rise. Check it out: https://www.enterprisedb.com/blog/postgresqls-incredible-trip-top-developers-0

🥳🎉 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'.
