#GITEX2025 is just around the corner and I'm excited to be returning this year! The Middle East is leading the charge in the global AI race, with a strong focus on data and AI sovereignty. This commitment to controlling and localising their own data and AI systems is creating a massive competitive advantage and driving significant economic transformation. EDB will be back with our double decker stand where we'll be talking all things data sovereignty. Be sure to visit our AI Factory experience and demo hub, and don't forget to grab some of our special giveaways. It's an exciting time to be "dome"-inating the AI space (the bad dome pun will make sense if you visit our stand 😉) Still not got your pass?

Cloud bills keep climbing. AI workloads keep growing. Carbon pledges keep tightening. Most enterprises still fight these pressures by adding capacity, an approach that quietly drives costs and emissions even higher. EDB chose a different play. Inside our own sovereign platform, we treated optimization as a board-level discipline and proved it can outdeliver hardware scaling on every front: cost, carbon, and performance.

The latest InfoWorld article by Tom Kincaid, SVP of Database Servers & Tools at EDB and a long-time PostgreSQL contributor, looks at what makes PostgreSQL 18 stand out and where the project is heading next. Tom highlights the momentum behind the release—110 unique contributors delivering more than 200 new features—and explains how that growing community keeps Postgres advancing year after year. He also shares why the improvements in performance, security, and flexibility matter for teams building modern data platforms and AI applications.

Our Perspectives on PostgreSQL 18 series spotlights the people behind the release. Here, Jacob Champion talks about the four-year path to PostgreSQL’s new OAuth feature and how EDB’s culture makes room for the long, collaborative timelines that open source demands. Watch the full discussion for a deeper look at OAuth in PG 18 and the open-source process that made it possible: https://lnkd.in/eE9ZVGNj #EDBPostgresAI #PG18 #PostgreSQL18 #PGCommunity #Oauth #OpenSource #DeveloperCommunity

“Sovereign cloud” is not the same as sovereignty. True sovereignty means enterprises own their AI and data platforms end-to-end—with unified access, observability, compliance, and control across every environment. EDB's #SovereigntyMatters research shows 68% of enterprises are moving in that direction within three years. The leaders are proving how it works: hybrid by design, fully observable, and built on open source foundations. That’s the difference between renting infrastructure and building the DNA for long-term advantage.

In a new WIRED feature, EDB spotlights enterprises that are re-architecting data centers to meet the rising energy demands of modern AI. The reason is urgent: GPU-driven AI can raise IT costs by 20–40%, much of it from power demand. Without a clear energy governance strategy, the grid—not the chip—becomes the limiting factor, and AI risks shifting from growth engine to cost center.

That’s a wrap on #PGConfNYC! Always inspiring to be with the Postgres community, sharing lessons, meeting new faces, and seeing where the database is headed next. Events like this show why Postgres continues to thrive: an open community that drives real innovation while keeping the database trusted for mission-critical workloads. EDB is proud to support that momentum and be part of the conversations shaping Postgres’s future. #EDBPostgresAI #PostgreSQL #OpenSource #PGCommunity

Next up at #PGConfNYC: Bruce Momjian on the Postgres query optimizer, often called the brain of the database. Before his talk, we want to hear from you:

AI projects stall when data layers can’t keep up. EDB Postgres AI + Red Hat OpenShift AI provide automated embedding, fast vector search & pre-integrated tools to accelerate production-ready AI. Build smarter, faster. See how ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eibYfWpW #EDBPostgresAI #PostgreSQL #OpenShift #EnterpriseAI #DataPlatform #VectorSearch #AIDevelopment

Tomorrow at #PGConfNYC, EDB’s Vibhor Kumar shares lessons from upgrading Postgres at 200TB scale. At that size, success isn’t about one-off tuning; it’s about engineering discipline, operational foresight, and treating Postgres as a platform that can evolve with the business.
