EDB is proud to be part of the vibrant open source community. Earlier this month, EDB Chief Database Scientist, Robert Haas introduced a new mentorship program designed to support and nurture PostgreSQL code contributors. Robert's vision for this program is rooted in his conversations with experienced PostgreSQL developers. He discovered a common thread: support, encouragement, and meaningful, positive feedback played a crucial role in their perseverance and success. Whether it was validation of their work, support for a major patch, or an unexpected promotion to committer, these interactions were pivotal in their journey.

Kubernetes wouldn’t be the backbone of stateful database applications if not for the work of talented database developers like Leonardo Cecchi. As one of the creators of CloudNativePG and a valued engineer at EDB, Leonardo was recently recognized for his significant contributions to tech storage and invited to join the Kubernetes Container Storage Interface (CSI) team. Cloud Native Storage Tech Lead at VMware Xing Yang, and EDB Cloud Native VP Gabriele Bartolini, nominated and sponsored Leonardo for CSI team membership. “Leonardo's innovative work as one of the creators of CloudNativePG and his relentless research on integrating Kubernetes and PostgreSQL serve as a beacon of inspiration for us all,” says Gabriele.

But recently, more and more organizations are embracing and using Postgres and finding that it meets all of their business needs. Postgres has many outstanding attributes, but three main capabilities make it ideal for today's workloads: (1) extensibility; (2) non-relational data handling; and (3) specialized indexing.
