Just hit publish on the 2026 edition of the annual "What’s new with Postgres at Microsoft" blog post. ✍️ 🎉
Every year we attempt to pull together a useful overview of all the Postgres workstreams at Microsoft, complete with an infographic that visualizes all of our Postgres workstreams.
This year, wow, there was a lot of ground to cover. 💥
If you find this useful, please share far & wide, especially with teammates and Postgres users.
+1 to co-author Guy Bowerman who authored the Azure Database for PostgreSQL chapter—and Sumedh Pathak who authored the PostgreSQL Core chapter (about our open source code contributions upstream.)
I work in the Postgres community space so on a personal level, it's heartwarming to see how rich and full the Postgres Community chapter of the blog post is—including the work on @posetteconf and the Talking Postgres podcast—as well as sponsorships and our team's work to organize community conferences including @melanieplageman's work on @pgconfdev.
