🎙️ 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🎧 https://talkingpostgres.com/episodes/how-i-went-from-oracle-to-postgres-with-a-big-nosql-detour-with-gwen-shapira

🎙️ New #TalkingPostgres podcast Ep36 is out!
@tomasv , Postgres committer & long-time performance contributor, missed out on the Czechia/Canada hockey game 🏒 to talk about why it's so fun to hack on Postgres performance 🐘
I loved that Tomas said "dead ends are part of the game". And how he likened solving performance problems to solving puzzles. But not toy puzzles, he wants to spend his time doing meaningful things that have a real impact. Shout-outs to benchmarks, perf, DTrace, Brendan Gregg, Peter Geoghegan, & tdigest...

On my way to @fosdem and @fosdempgday & am really looking forward to reconnecting with open source and #PostgreSQL database friends. And maybe meeting some listeners of the #TalkingPostgres #podcast! Hope to see some of you there. 👋
This time, transiting through LHR. Am wearing sunglasses because I am a huge fan of the Timeshifter app, an absolute gamechanger for me in combating jetlag. (I suspect controlling the exposure to light is what makes it work…)

🎙️ New #TalkingPostgres #podcast Ep35 is out!
Luigi Nardi, the founder of an automated database tuning startup, joined to dig into how he got started with DBtune & why they chose PostgreSQL. We covered lots of ground, from the Jevons paradox to AI coding assistants to the appeal of Waymos.
As many of you know, word of mouth for podcasts like Talking Postgres is GOLD and so if this podcast is your jam, please be sure to tell your database & developer friends. Boosts welcome! 🚀

When doing the soundcheck and getting ready to record Ep33 of the #TalkingPostgres #podcast on Discord—with guest Rob Emanuele and co-producer @asw—I took this screenshot of the 3 of us!
Recording this episode (just published yesterday) was so fun—starting from Rob's origin story as a developer busking on Venice Beach.
But yes if you're interested in the new VS Code extension for PostgreSQL you will definitely learn what it's for and why it matters in the episode too!
Plus a surprising bit about Total Request Live near the end. Enjoy!
(and be sure to share with friends because word of mouth is one of the best ways for podcasts—especially niche Postgres podcasts—to get discovered)

🎙️ New Talking Postgres #podcast Ep33 is published!
Microsoft engineer Rob Emanuele joined to discuss building a dev experience for Postgres in VS Code + geospatial queries, guitar busking, creativity, & agentic coding.
Of course he explains what the new VS Code extension for Postgres helps you to do (and yes, it works with any Postgres, whether on-prem or in any cloud.)
But my favorite bits were the guiding principles used when building this new extension—and exactly how Rob's own coding workflow has changed dramatically.
And we talked about failure! And music. And PostGIS.

Happening on Wed 5 Nov at 10am PST, a LIVE recording of Ep33 of the #TalkingPostgres #podcast with guest Rob Emanuele, to talk about "Building a dev experience for Postgres in VS Code"
Rob has such an interesting background (esp. with PostGIS and planetary data) and I'm curious to learn how he got involved in this project—and what it was like to create this new VS Code extension!

🎙️ New episode 29 of the #TalkingPostgres #podcast is out!
Shireesh Thota (CVP of Azure Databases at Microsoft) once dreamed of driving a bus. 🚌 Instead, he fell for math, BASIC, and engineering—and now leads all database work at Microsoft.
We talk about:
➕ The shift from developer to manager (if only people came with documentation)
➕ Why databases are a microcosm of computer science
➕ Why Microsoft must contribute to #PostgreSQL open source—not just consume it
➕ Whether Shireesh has a favorite database?
➕ A new #VSCode extension for PostgresYou should listen! You will enjoy it:

Peter Cooper (@cooperx86)—the witty, irreverent, & wicked smart programmer & editor-in-chief of Cooperpress—joined me to talk about "12 years of Postgres Weekly"
We started near the Prime Meridian and time-traveled through his early days writing QBASIC fanzines on Usenet, all the way to building a newsletter empire that reaches nearly half a million devs each week—with his own geeky, opinionated tone of voice.
Spam filters, photoshop, & one very cheesy story included. Give it a listen & please boost 🚀

This week the annual @pgconfdev development conference is happening, this time in Montréal—and it's great to be back together with #PostgreSQL folks, to catch up with Microsoft teammates, & to prep for my talk tomorrow. The talk is titled: "What 10 Postgres major contributors did to become a hacker" and it's built from stories and insights from some of the Postgres developers who have come on the #TalkingPostgres podcast I host each month.
If you're at this amazing conference, I hope you can join me. (Sneak peek of the cover slide attached 👇)

Last week a whole lot of #PostgreSQL people had a wonderful time @pgconfnyc in midtown Manhattan.
And the experience inspired me to write a blog post to share my #PGConfNYC 2025 experience with all of you—with lots of photos of some of my Postgres friends & Microsoft teammates
Also included: quotes overheard in the hallways: "Why do people go to PGConf NYC?"

En route to the airport from #PGConfNYC & I want to shout from the tall NYC rooftops to say thank you 🙏 to the #PGConfNYC organizers, talk selection team, speakers, & amazing people I met. So nice to see the 45% growth in attendees vs last year.
Also: Gratitude 🙌 for my #Microsoft teammates who came to support the #PostgreSQL open source community (we were a Platinum sponsor ✅) & meet with Azure Database for PostgreSQL customers too.

Happening now, it’s Day 3 of #PGConfNYC and #PostgreSQL contributor @petereisentraut of EDB is presenting about “Making the best use of modern SSL”.
The talk is rich with useful details but I like the high level guidance: 👀 think about what you’re doing, document it, automate it ✅
