#PostgreSQL is hot as ever. Why is it like that? Besides the impressive engine, the critical thing is pluggable architecture as a first-class citizen. That opened database for new capabilities that maintainers didn't even think about.
That's also an entry point for the rich ecosystem.
If you'd like to see how this looks in practice, join me live next Tuesday (September 9th) at 4:00 PM UTC. Thanks to the invitation from the good folks at Particular (thanks, @danielmarbach) I'll have the next chance to preach about it! 
Oh well, it won't be just preaching, it'll be a really hands-on session. I hope that you're not allergic to SQL!
We'll code a simple, but real flow for: recording, reporting and alerting about the car fleet trips management.
That'll be a chance to showcase features such as:
- native PostgreSQL partitioning for efficient data storage management,
- How to compose plugins like Timescale for time series data, PostGIS for spatial data (GPS tracking etc.).
- In general, how can plugins cut down the time needed to deliver essential features
- Automate reporting with continuous aggregations without having to poll the database
- Stream database changes in real time by using logical replication as a push-notification system
- Detect issues as they happen, for example, spotting unusual fleet activity, without constant polling
- etc.
I'll also touch on how the hashtag#NServiceBus PostgreSQL relates to that!
So join me, it'll be fun even if you're using PostgreSQL on a daily basis!
The program for PGConf.EU 2025 is live!
