Meetup at Google offices in Cambridge MA on December 16th, 2025

Update: Google has found us more space and we now have room for 80 people!!! We are extremely grateful to them for accommodating us.

Please note we had close to 50 people attend our last event. This event only has space for 30, so please register early if you plan as soon as you can, if you plan to come.

This meeting will be at Google offices in Cambridge MA. Further specifics will be shared soon.

Two topics to be presented:

1. What’s new in PostgreSQL 18 - Shihao Zhong and Colin Florendo
2. PostgreSQL and Gemini CLI - Heather White and Isabella Lubin

What’s new in PostgreSQL 18 - Shihao Zhong and Colin Florendo

Join Shihao and Colin as they present PostgreSQL 18, a landmark
release that delivers faster I/O performance through a new
Asynchronous I/O (AIO) subsystem. PG18 also includes significant
enhancements for modern server architectures, with better awareness
and optimization for NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) systems to
improve scalability on high core count machines. Furthermore, it
introduces B-tree Skip Scan for smarter, more efficient query
planning, cementing its place as the fastest and most advanced
PostgreSQL to date.

PostgreSQL and Gemini CLI - Heather White and Isabella Lubin

Heather and Isabella will demo the new open source Gemini CLI
extensions that make building and managing PostgreSQL-powered
applications easier than ever using an AI agent directly from your
terminal.
