As we close out the year, it’s clear what moves EDB forward: people who turn our values into action.

At our recent All Hands, we recognized the 2025 Q4 CEO Award winners: Natasha Bhalla Jain, Jan Sillanpaa, Prabhav Mitra, Mike Cummings, Floor Drees, and Hee Bai (HB) Kim. These are all teammates whose work sets a higher bar for innovation, collaboration, and results.

Congratulations to this quarter’s winners; the impact you make is felt across the company.

The 13th edition of the EDB Engineering Newsletter is out! This newsletter is quite long (I feel like we're saying this every month now), here are some highlights:
1️⃣ WarehousePG might be able to one-up #PostgreSQL in terms of how many columns fit into a table
2️⃣ New functionality teased by CloudNativePG at #KubeCon North America
3️⃣ And the part of PostgreSQL development we don’t talk about enough: the negotiation

We're joining as a Gold level sponsor for the 18th year of the “Prague PostgreSQL Developers Day” (@p2d2) conference, taking place January 27-28. Bruce Momjian, Jonathan Battiato, and Danish Khan have scheduled sessions: https://p2d2.cz/en/program/#tue #PostgreSQL #Kubernetes @CloudNativePG

We're excited about next year's PGConf India, where we're joining as a Diamond level sponsor. Pavan Deolasee is one of the Core team organizers of the conference. Our Rushabh Lathia is also an organizer, Amul Sul has joined Program Committee, and Pinaz Raut is a long-time volunteer.

In addition, 6 of our sessions are on the schedule, on autentication in #PostgreSQL 18, on the @warehousepg and @CloudNativePG projects, and more: https://www.pgconf.in/conferences/pgconfin2026#program

We're asking people participating in a training program at EDB about their origin story. Meet Bryan Green, working on the Platform Operations team.

"Developer U" is an opportunity for Bryan to get back to the low-level systems programming that has captivated him since he was 12. "And to do it in the open, contributing to something that millions depend on, that's amazing!" https://www.enterprisedb.com/blog/postgresql-contributor-story-bryan-green #PostgreSQL #opensource

"My belief is that a combination of Postgres being the best available database, the emergence of a new developer stack and some timely marketing led to Postgres taking the top spot with developers." Our Tom Kincaid, on the blog: https://www.enterprisedb.com/blog/part-3-postgres-journey-top-developers #PostgreSQL #StackOverflow

At the December 10 PostgreSQL Frankfurt meetup, Andreas Scherbaum will give his talk "WarehousePG Open Source (again)", about the Open Source fork of the Greenplum Database.

Andreas says about the talk: "I aim to give a quick overview of the history of both projects. We then dive into the reasons for and challenges of creating a fork. We also talk about the challenges of CLAs and what implications the PostgreSQL and Apache Licenses have for the project."

There’s a part of #PostgreSQL development we don't talk enough about: the negotiation. New features aren’t just written. They’re shaped through conversations.

In this clip Robert Haas, Martín Marqués, and Israel Barth Rubio discuss how incremental backup matured in PG17 and PG18, what async I/O sets in motion for future performance, how the Barman team adapts new core features, and why meaningful development happens in arcs that stretch across several releases ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=te6qVq0u6SU

Our Phil Eaton, on the blog: "I noticed that psql supports setting variables and conditional blocks. It also supports loops (with \watch) and recursion of sorts (with \include). Can we express any computation in psql's scripting language? Yes, but don't try this in production." https://www.enterprisedb.com/blog/psqls-scripting-language-turing-complete-or-fibonacci-psql #PostgreSQL
Earlier this year we started a program (“Developer U”) to help colleagues who show promise for #PostgreSQL Development to become contributors. Vaibhav Dalvi is one of them. Now a Staff SDE, prior to joining EDB in 2018 he had no professional experience with databases. Imagine that! https://www.enterprisedb.com/blog/postgresql-contributor-story-vaibhav-dalvi
