Thanks for verifying the benchmarks. We’re close to a full RC, aiming for December

Just to add: if anyone wants to contribute (beyond code) benchmarking and stress-testing is very helpful for us

I assume you get this a lot, but how much patching is left in PG 18?

We are tracking the patches here:

https://www.orioledb.com/docs#patch-set

The actual storage engine is written as an extension - these patches are mostly to improve the TAM API. If these are accepted by the community then it should be simpler for anyone to write their own Storage extensions.

I think (correctly) it will take a lot longer to upstream the extension - the PG community should take a “default no” attitude with big changes like this. Over time we will prove its worthiness (hopefully beyond just supabase - it would be good to collaborate with other Postgres providers)

OK, so basically no big change with PG 18, and for the time being, one needs to basically your own Postgres?

Would be really nice with a pgdg package, as this is definitely the kind of thing I would want to test in a separate cluster :-)
