summary
Revisits 2013 expectations then lays out concrete anchor points: Postgres needs to scale from transactional core to meet AI and advanced analytics workloads, requires structured mentorship and onboarding so more Postgres contributors in the next 20 years than in the past 20 actually arrive, and community growth must be funded by sustainable open source business models. Demonstrates growth in active committers trending toward ~40–50, and points to deployable outputs like EDB Postgres Advanced Server, Postgres Distributed (BR/BDR), and the Cloud Native Postgres operator.
