The dedication and passion of the open source community never ceases to amaze. While corporations leverage significant budgets to sponsor events, open source projects like Postgres rely on limited resources. Yet, Postgres thrives, hosting 2-3 conferences globally every month—often surpassing the impact of corporate-sponsored events. That's the power of open source. That's the power of Postgres. Open source communities empower independent teams to collaborate and thrive. This same empowerment allows Postgres to develop software that rivals (and often exceeds) what billion-dollar companies produce. This week, we saw empowerment in action when Emma Saroyan formed the Armenia PostgreSQL User Group and invited EDB Vice President, Postgres Evangelist Bruce Momjian to speak at the inaugural meetup. Bruce's talk focused on two key factors driving Postgres' success: 1️⃣ Extensibility to handle today's workloads. 2️⃣ The efficiency of the open source development model. More than 30 attendees engaged in discussions about making Postgres central to their data centers. Thanks to everyone who attended the inaugural Armenia PostgreSQL User Group meetup. EDB is proud to be a sponsor for this event, and we are committed to building the future of Postgres alongside the vibrant open source community. #PostgreSQL #JustSolveItWithPostgres #EDBPostgresAI #OpenSourceInnovation #DevOps #opensource #Postgres #EDBPostgresAI #data #AI #database #DBA #opensource

Benchmarking can be a contentious and complicated topic in the database world. If you're looking for insight and clarity around benchmarking, you'll want to check out this informative and insightful talk from EDB Software Development Engineer Mark Wong. The recording from PostgreSQL Conference Europe highlights how TPC benchmarks are often misused or misrepresented by database vendors. In his talk, "Introduction to Fair-Use TPC Benchmarking Kits", Mark clarified the strict requirements for conducting these benchmarks properly, such as offering a solution with guaranteed 5-year support, running on commercially available systems, and adhering closely to TPC specifications. This talk is essential for anyone in the Postgres community who wants to understand how to properly use benchmarking tools to evaluate and improve their systems.

More than a decade ago, the Navy made the decision to migrate crucial mapping and data analysis technology from Oracle to Postgres, with help from EDB. The cost of using Oracle had far exceeded the Navy's expectations. The Navy required a new solution that was: ✅ Low cost ✅ Easy to use ✅ High performance ✅ Reliable ✅ Highly secure With EDB and Postgres, the US Navy was able to save money, accelerate its move to the cloud, and standardize its data analytics database platform across the entire fleet. Migrating from Oracle to EDB Enterprise Postgres Advanced Server (EPAS) resulted in a significantly lower cost, saving the Navy millions on its IT budget. Plus, the move to the cloud has helped future-proof the Navy's databases, with modern systems that provide flexibility and scalability for the mission ahead.
