Pavel Luzanov PostgresProCovering all the key changes in PostgreSQL 18 during this talk would be quite a challenge — especially since the code freeze is set to happen just a week after the presentation. However, I’ll focus on what has already been finalized.
There are plenty of exciting updates in performance, monitoring, vacuuming (of course!), and beyond. As always, this talk is based on a series of articles reviewing the commit fests for PostgreSQL 18, published on Postgres Professional’s corporate blog on Habr.

Andrey Zubkov PostgresProFor over a year, Postgres Pro has provided extended vacuum statistics, reflecting its operation on individual relations.
We've started receiving observations from production databases of clients that include these statistics. It has been quite successful, and in 2024, we began actively promoting vacuum statistics in PostgreSQL. In this talk, we will review what these statistics can tell us about the complex life of vacuum, using real-world data from live systems.

Дмитрий Бондарь PostgresProLast year, we introduced built-in fault tolerance support in Postgres Pro Enterprise through BiHA. Our solution allows you to deploy a fault-tolerant Postgres cluster where, in the event of a failure of the primary node, a new primary node (leader) is automatically selected.
However, this brings up the issue of redirecting traffic to the new leader. This can be solved using our Proxima extension or an external TCP proxy server. Both solutions needed to periodically query the BiHA cluster to determine the primary node.
As an alternative, the latest version of BiHA introduced the ability to register custom functions that will be triggered by events such as leader change, node addition/removal, and others. We call this mechanism user callbacks. In this presentation, we’ll explain how the callbacks are implemented and discuss their usage.

Алексей СветличныйDozens of PostgreSQL instances have replaced a single large Oracle database. One of our key business systems was completely redesigned and rebuilt on an import-independent solution.
This talk will cover the unique challenges, architecture, issues, and operational aspects of this migration. Expect an insightful deep dive into the process!
