pg_lake is an open source Postgres extension based on work done at Crunchy Data prior to the acquisition by Snowflake - you can find the repo here [1] and a blog post with more context on the project here [2]

I see you are a co-founder! Thanks for pg_lake. I am actually already heavily using it, was just interested to read about CDC in the context of pg_lake.


For more context, this is an out of cycle Postgres minor version release as a result of issues identified in the prior minor version release that occurred on November 14th.

These threads provide more details:

Josh Berkus had a great talk on the history of Postgres forks and variants. Link below to slides from a version of this talk in 2009:

I think a version of the same talk was done at FOSDEM that year, and I remember it being very interesting!


A number of good options. Different folks have their favorites: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/books/


I appreciate the heads up. You are trying this page (https://www.crunchydata.com/products/crunchy-bridge/pricing/) and it isnt working for you?


Yes. I just dug deeper now and saw that you can get to the prices if you scroll to the right on mobile. It wasn’t obvious to me that there was more content to the right



No. You are not alone. There are still a number of organizations that are cautious about deploying databases in Kubernetes. That said, various third party surveys as well as anecdotal evidence of what we are seeing at Crunchy Data suggests that deploying databases on Kubernetes is increasingly common. The degree to which it makes sense often depends on whether or not the organization is standardizing around Kubernetes for their deployment model more generally.


Maybe worth checking out pgbackrest (https://pgbackrest.org/) as an open source external tool for Postgres backup / restore if you have not already.


There is an important distinction between community driven open source databases (ex: Postgres) and open source databases that are developed, maintained and owned by a single corporate sponsor.


Depending on requirements, there are an increasing number of options for "active-active" Postgres deployments. A colleague wrote this on a federated active-active configuration on Kubernetes: https://info.crunchydata.com/blog/active-active-postgres-fed...
