I had the pleasure of speaking at PGConf.dev in Montreal, where I delivered a session on Columnar Data Store—a topic that’s quietly transforming the way we handle large-scale analytics in PostgreSQL. In this post, I’ll walk you through the core ideas from my talk and explain why columnar storage isn’t just a performance boost—it’s a game changer for modern data workloads.
At this year’s PGConf.dev, the premier gathering for PostgreSQL contributors, developers, and community leaders, Zhijie Hou and I had the opportunity talk about the challenges and solutions around conflict handling in logical replication — a topic increasingly relevant as PostgreSQL adoption continues to grow.
