POSTGRES INNOVATION
10 YEAR PERSPECTIVE
10 years ago:
• Majority of contributions from volunteers
• Mostly one-person projects. Windows port was one of
the first multi-person projects
Today:
• Still significant number of contributions from volunteers
• Most headline contributions are from professional
Postgres developers that are part of commercial efforts
• Multi-person and multi-company projects like sharding,
pluggable storage engine
Bruce discusses these developments in his presentation, Will Postgres
Live Forever?, and offers some interesting insights into the future.
