After a successful 3rd beta in August 2024, the PostgreSQL development group released the GA version on September 26th. Recently, I blogged about some of the key logical replication features that you’ll see in PostgreSQL 17.  In this blog, I’ll describe a couple of new performance features that you’ll find in Postgres 17 as well as another important logical replication feature that I didn’t cover in my earlier blog of this series. 

PostgreSQL has grown remarkably over the years, and with each major release, it has become a more robust, reliable, and responsive database for both mission-critical and non-mission-critical enterprise applications. The global and vibrant PostgreSQL community is contributing to PostgreSQL’s success, diligently ensuring that all changes are carefully scrutinized and reviewed before they are added to the project source code. It is also very encouraging to see big technology names like Microsoft, Google, Apple, and others investing in Postgres by developing in-house expertise and giving back to the open-source community.
