We've looked into which managed Postgres providers support auto_explain — a lovely extension that lets you log the execution plans of slow queries automatically. We've published the findings a blog post, but plan to keep it up to date: pgmustard.com/blog/which-clo…

Still to this day the worst decision the Postgres project was renaming the database to "PostgreSQL". I hear it mispronounced absolutely daily. It came from a time when adding SQL support to a database was a bigger deal. Tom Lane wrote an email to the mailing list in 2006

My favorite aspect of OSS and sharing knowledge with the community: It all adds up to a virtuous circle. Also: If you enjoy a project with less than ~1000 stars, consider letting the author know. It's a small effort and can easily make someones day.
