Tuning CloudNativePG without the guesswork Running PostgreSQL on Kubernetes isn't new anymore. CloudNativePG makes it genuinely production-ready, with automatic failover, streaming replication, and declarative configuration that actually works. But here's the thing: nobody talks about tuning these clusters.

Mohsin Ejaz and Luigi Nardi at DBtune used Agentic AI for #Kubernetes #PostgreSQL optimization and achieved a 4.5x improvement in average query runtime. Learn more: www.dbtune.com/blog/tuning-...

Best of 2025: The Evolution Of Kubernetes Workload Patterns Kubernetes workloads differ because they represent applications and services deployed within a cluster encompassing one or more components.

"It is about more than just running Postgres in Kubernetes – it’s about doing it in a way that meets enterprise standards for uptime and resilience." Cloud Native Now's Adrian Bridgwater talks to Gabriele Bartolini: cloudnativenow.com/editorial-ca...

CloudNativePG Docs CloudNativePG (CNPG) is an open-source operator designed to manage PostgreSQL workloads on any supported Kubernetes cluster. It fosters cloud-neutrality through seamless deployment in private, public, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments via its distributed topology feature.

Our Documentation got an overhaul and we're now using #Docusaurus: cloudnative-pg.io/docs/

Huge thanks to Anushka Saxena who worked on this through the Linux Foundation's LFX mentorship program. We'll follow up with an interview with Anushka on our blog shortly!

We just released CloudNativePG 1.28 🎉 promoting Quorum-Based Failover and introduces Declarative Foreign Data Management for FDWs and foreign servers via the Database CRD: cloudnative-pg.io/releases/clo...

We also announce maintenance releases 1.27.2 and the final 1.26.3.

CNPG Recipe 23 - Managing extensions with ImageVolume in CloudNativePG Leveraging the Kubernetes ImageVolume feature and PostgreSQL 18's extension_control_path, this article demonstrates the CloudNativePG method for declaratively managing extensions like pgvector.

Using Kubernetes' ImageVolume feature, CloudNativePG now allows you to mount extensions like pgvector and PostGIS from dedicated images, decoupling the #PostgreSQL core from extension binaries - enabling dynamic addition, easier POCs, and simplified updates: www.gabrielebartolini.it/articles/202...

CloudNativePG 1.28.0 RC2 Released! The CloudNativePG community is excited to announce the second release candidate of CloudNativePG 1.28! Join us in testing these updates to shape the final release.
