Manni Wood, Staff SDE at EDB, loves that Hybrid Manager has an API, since bash and curl are all you need to start interacting with it in a way that's scriptable and automatable: https://www.enterprisedb.com/blog/things-love-about-hybrid-manager-part-1-api #PostgreSQL

Earlier this year we started a program (“Developer U”) to help colleagues who show promise for #PostgreSQL Development to become contributors.

Meet: Nishant Sharma, Staff SDE at EDB. Growing up his interest was in Civil Engineering and Architecture. He jokes that now he constructs software products: https://www.enterprisedb.com/blog/postgresql-contributor-story-nishant-sharma-0

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 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

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
