Episode 423 of Scaling Postgres covers several topics: a new open-source PostgreSQL backup tool called pg_hard_storage (backed by Cybertech), which uses WAL streaming, chunked deduplication, encryption, and content-addressed storage with a single static binary; tiered/bottomless storage strategies for Postgres including partitioning, foreign data wrappers, Parquet/Iceberg formats, and PGEdge's new Coldfront extension; sequence synchronization coming in Postgres 19 via logical replication; checkpoint monitoring best practices with real-world outage case studies; how Postgres internal statistics drive query planning; and a walkthrough of reading Postgres extension source code. POSETTE 2026 conference slides are also now available.
