Google Cloud: Investing in the future of PostgreSQL

Google Cloud engineers summarize their PostgreSQL upstream contributions from July–December 2025. Key work includes automatic conflict detection for active-active replication, logical replication of sequences, a self-deadlock fix in DROP SUBSCRIPTION, pg_upgrade optimizations for large objects and logical slots, and several bug fixes in pgstattuple, dynamic library loading, and WAL flush functions. The team is also developing a conflict log table, parallel pg_dump for large tables, and pipe-based parallel export. Dilip Kumar was selected for the PGConf.dev 2026 Program Committee.
