  • Such a fantastic resource!

    It’s current but not “news” so it makes sense to go all the way back to the first episode and listen to all of these!

    As an “application developer” who uses PostGIS, I wish I had known all I have learned through this podcast when we started our project. I now have a long list of things to add, things to check, things to look at - so much!

    Thanks Nikolay and Michael!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DBOS
Q: What are the performance trade-offs when running everything inside Postgres?
Latency improves due to local writes; throughput is bounded by the capacity of a single Postgres instance, with deeper considerations around isolation levels and potential sharding to scale beyond a single database.
DBOS
Q: How does DBoss handle failures and ensure durability in workflows?
Workflows regularly checkpoint their state in Postgres so that if a step fails or the process is interrupted, execution can resume exactly where it left off, ensuring durability and reducing wasted compute and actions.
DBOS
Q: What's the core problem DBoss is solving by using Postgres as an orchestrator?
DBoss treats the database as the single source of truth and control plane for distributed workflows, queues, and notifications, removing the need for external orchestrators and the extra distributed systems stack, which simplifies operations and improves reliability.
pg_stat_log
Q: Why do you think this should be in core, not just as an extension?
Fabrízio discusses the benefits of core integration for broader accessibility and consistency, while also noting ongoing work and the trade-offs of pre-starts and shared memory requirements; the hosts express that embedding it in core would simplify deployment and enable wider adoption, especially for rapid incident analysis.
pg_stat_log
Q: So, PG Statlog, do you want to give us a little bit what it is and why you started work on it?
Fabrízio explains that PG Statlog is a Postgres extension designed to collect and organize log-related counters, grouping data by several dimensions, and making it easier to inspect error rates and other log metrics from within Postgres, reducing the need to manually sift through logs across different environments.
