Why is PostgreSQL Terrible? (PGConf dev 2026)

Presented by Christophe Pettus at PGConf.dev 2026 (https://2026.pgconf.dev) PostgreSQL isn't actually terrible, of course. But it's not perfect, either, and it's important to be honest about what is wrong with it so we can improve it. After 25 years of working with PostgreSQL, and consulting with literally hundreds of clients doing real-world work on very large systems, this is a discussion about what pain points they run into, how we mitigate them, and how PostgreSQL could remove them. https://2026.pgconf.dev/session/658 🎬 See more PGConf.dev 2026 videos at    • PGConf.dev 2026   Join us in Montreal for PConf.dev 2027 https://2027.pgconf.dev Connect with us: Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@pgconfdev Web: https://2026.pgconf.dev #postgresql #PGConfDev
