Talk: A PostgreSQL 18 Whirlwind Tour
PostgreSQL 18 is planned for release at the end of September 2025 - what are some of the new features in it, and how do they impact you? In this talk, we'll take a whirlwind tour of what to expect in PostgreSQL 18, including new performance, developer experience, and more. We'll also hear from Peter Geoghegan, the implementor of the new "skip scan" feature that accelerates index lookups!
