Why wait? Take PostgreSQL 17.0 for spin on Microsoft Azure and experience the exciting new & game changing features which has come to PostgreSQL: https://lnkd.in/gD5N587i
A lot has gone into this release on Azure :-) There are two major chapters of this story....
From an upstream PG17 point of view, Committers/contributors team at Microsoft has contributed significantly and was involved heavily in getting community PG17 out of the door. Team contributed to features such as I/O combining, streaming I/O & usage of streaming I/O during sequential scan & ANALYZE. Our team worked on query planner improvements around - UNION, filtering data based on NULL values & highly partitioned workload. Our team also played a significant role in enhancing libpq performance & query cancellations, improved pg upgrade performance, reduced memory allocations while sorting, fixed memory leaks during JIT and improved memory allocation performance. Our team was instrumental in improving VACUUM performance and reducing WAL volume usage. We also contributed to improving the build system and developer experience.

From the managed service side, we have been aspiring to bring all the goodness from PG17 to Azure Database for PostgreSQL customers at a faster pace. These involved integrations ensuring that features in PG17 can be used out of the box and well-integrated way in the most performant and secure way possible. With a lot of planning and effort, our engine team on the managed service side has made the PG17 available within days of the community release in Azure environment. This is unprecedented and something which we are very proud of as a team.

None of this work has happened in vacuum. It takes a village to bring a PostgreSQL version out into production. Above was possible because of the great support from across Azure PG org, from LT (Girish Mittur V, Affan Dar) & with the broader community of PostgreSQL hackers collaborating day and day out with improving PostgreSQL in mind. Thank you all!
