I attended the Postgres Conference 2026 in San Jose, CA, yesterday, and I’m heading back for day two today. It's impressive to see how big tech companies are using and enhancing PostgreSQL.". I saw some great updates from Amazon (Aurora/RDS), Google (AlloyDB). Beyond the giants, it’s the specialized tools that really caught my eye—companies like Yugabyte and Neon (formerly CockroachDB/Constructive) are doing some really cool things with distributed and serverless Postgres. I also want to mention CloudNativePG. I attended a session by EDB engineers who provided comprehensive materials and a guided lab. Running PostgreSQL on Kubernetes is clearly the future. Finally, I heard from AWS engineers about the upcoming features in Amazon Aurora 18. I’ll post some photos soon, though some slides went by too fast for me to get a clear shot! 😉 Links : https://cloudnative-pg.io/ https://lnkd.in/gP3cHsWg https://lnkd.in/gP3cHsWg https://constructive.io/
