PostgreSQL Challenges

" summary

Project history hits concrete numbers: ~25 years of development, ~180 major features per release and a Postgres 15 beta rolling out. Risks are specific: leadership disruption exemplified by CentOS, patent and trademark skirmishes, and cloud vendors changing market dynamics. Technical work lists real projects and tradeoffs like right amplification, an effort toward cluster file encryption, progress on horizontal scaling (Postgres 14 read-only gains, Postgres 15 read-write steps), plus toolchain maintenance in C and Perl.
