PostgreSQL 18 brings native UUIDv7 support with 50% index performance improvement. Say goodbye to UUIDv4 fragmentation and get primary keys that are both ordered and unique.

PostgreSQL 18’s asynchronous IO with io_uring delivers 3.4x faster sequential scans, 2.1x faster index scans. Real benchmark data, configuration guide, and migration strategy for the database performance revolution.

PgDog is a Rust-based PostgreSQL proxy. They discovered Protobuf serialization was the real bottleneck in SQL query parsing — not the Postgres parser itself. By replacing Protobuf with direct C-to-Rust FFI bindings, they achieved 5-10x faster parsing.

When packet rates surpass 2 million per second, the Linux network stack simply gives up. It’s like your doorbell won’t stop ringing, but you never have time to open the door. Let’s talk about bypassing the kernel.

Manjaro 26.0 is officially released with KDE Plasma 6.5, Linux 6.18 kernel and more. Let’s check out what’s new in this beginner-friendly Arch-based distro.

gRPC can indeed be much faster than REST, but most teams are right to stick with REST. Let’s talk about the real cost behind the speed.

Kubernetes is for Google, systemd is for the rest of us. The story of someone who spent three months learning K8s, only to realize a single config file would have done the job.

A few seemingly mundane Linux habits that doubled my daily development efficiency. The secret isn’t typing faster—it’s making fewer decisions.

Governments in Germany, Denmark, Spain and beyond are migrating from Windows to Linux at scale. This isn’t a drill - it’s really happening.
