pgMustard

We're delighted to have cut a new major version, with a ton of improvements since last time, including #PostgreSQL 17 support, TEXT format support, new tip types, the ability to link optimizations, and more! https://lnkd.in/e-S8r6NH

New blog post: "Which cloud providers support auto_explain?" Michael 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 as a blog post, but plan to keep it up to date: https://lnkd.in/ewVmWB8F

Guests from three very well-known companies share their experience of scaling #PostgreSQL to 100 TiB and beyond. Samantha Steele from Figma, Arka Ganguli from Notion, and Derk van Veen from Adyen. I personally use products of all three of these companies, so it was super cool to hear their Postgres stories. And this was the best episode No. 100 of our podcast I could imagine -- many thanks to Michael Christofides for organizing it 🤝 🎙️https://lnkd.in/gzRnjQ9v 📺 https://lnkd.in/gaHxtKga

Our team produces a monthly podcast for developers who love Postgres—and Ep15 of Path To Citus Con published last Friday, titled "My Journey to Explaining Explain" with guest Michael Christofides of pgMustard & host Claire Giordano from the #PostgreSQL team at Microsoft. If you or your database friends want to learn about the human side of Postgres, the stories behind the people who spend their days developing (or using) Postgres, this podcast is for you. And Michael's focux on EXPLAIN ANALYZE, BUFFERS, pgMustard, and documentation makes for an entertaining 1.5 hours! 2 ways to listen: 🎙️ from Transistor you can subscribe on most of the podcast platforms. Also available on YouTube. 🎧 Transistor: https://lnkd.in/gxV9zYNA 📺 YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gT8nrHYd #Postgres #Community #podcast #OpenSource #database #developers

I’ve spoken at a few events lately and people who are new to Postgres always ask me the best place to learn more. In general these are devs and technical people, they don’t want a tutorial on CRUD but they're not ready to dive into two days at at Postgres conference. So here are my go-to sources for learning more Postgres: - Crunchy Data blog https://lnkd.in/g6_2haJ9. Obviously, I’m biassed since this is my baby, but its great and there’s lots of good stuff all the time. Get all the updates curated in our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/gfTvkeQ7 - Redgate Software https://lnkd.in/gaJ_AVJW: Redgate was traditionally a tools company for MS SQL Server but they've recently become much more embedded into Postgres and a lot of their content is excellent. Ryan Booz is a great teacher. - pganalyze 5 minutes of Postgres https://lnkd.in/gVtjcqUG. This is really well done and dives into a lot of great Postgres topics with a good amount of depth in just 5 minutes. Lukas Fittl is a great resource and their blog is great as well. - Michael Christofides has a good newsletter related to pgMustard which is a good collection of general Postgres tips. -Cooperpress Postgres' weekly is a great summary of the best blogs and other things going on and there's always a few gems in here. I make it a point to read every article they include. https://lnkd.in/gmr4Hbkt

We recently had a customer reach out on Twitter[1] asking whether we had plans to offer an API for sending a plan and getting a pgMustard link automatically (to avoid a bunch of copy pasting). We'd discussed it internally a few times before, and this was a great excuse to bump it to the top of the queue. After a bit of clarification and discussion on GitHub[2], we got a first version[3] of the feature out earlier this week! It's currently only available on our Team and Company plans, while we figure out how (and how much) it'll be used. As ever, feedback is most welcome, whether on here, Twitter, GitHub, or email[4].

You can now save a query alongside a query plan when saving or sharing them in pgMustard 💾 auto_explain logs include the query text, so it'll be automatically extracted from those. It'll then be visible from a new Query section, for you and anyone you've shared the plan with.

🐘 Had a great time meeting and chatting with Charles Max Wood, Valentino Stoll, and Dave Kimura for the Ruby Rogues podcast! 💎 We discussed using #PostgreSQL with Ruby on Rails. We chatted about the book writing process, a book aimed at “Application DBAs” (credit: Haki Benita). Check it out! 👉 https://lnkd.in/gBGmB7MZ 🗣️ More shout outs: we recommended SQL for Devs from Tobias Petry, GoodJob from Ben Sheldon, and discussed Solid Cache, and Solid Queue coming in #Rails version 8 (2024). Active Record Multiple Databases were discussed for cache store instances. For query plan analysis, I recommended pgMustard. 📚 Book info: https://lnkd.in/eYm_9TK7 The Pragmatic Programmers
