EDB & Postgres through the years and in the years to come
summary
EDB traces 20 years of concrete contributions: it builds and upstreams features like Heap-only tuples (HOT), streaming replication, parallel query, declarative table partitioning and logical replication, and it adds the SQL MERGE implementation to ease migrations. Postgres 17 receives incremental backup in core for much smaller backups and much faster recovery. EDB reports most code lines in 2024, the largest jump in patch authors for PG-17, opens and donates the Cloud Native Postgres operator, and ships installers, a hybrid control plane and EDB Postgres Distributed with ~95% Oracle compatibility.
