Everybody can support Postgres today. Take 5 minutes and pop a quick email to your Microsoft and AWS sales reps, telling them that their company's support of open source postgres development matters to you. Its good for field teams to hear this feedback; don't assume they know!

One of the things I'm working on for PostgreSQL 18 is executor performance. Today I pushed a patch to add JIT support to increase the performance of generating hash values for Hash Join. Thanks to Andres Freund (Tech) for letting me know this needed attention. git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postโ€ฆ

Missed the original announcement, but seems major changes are coming about now in Google's Android app store in consequence of them engineering their Play Store as an illegal monopoly. buff.ly/3Xdbcxb #technews #business #businessnews #google #android
