CloudNativePG

On his blog, Gabriele Bartolini shows what CloudNativePG 1.31 will bring to #PostgreSQL credentials: a DatabaseRole can now generate its own password, keep it in a Secret the operator owns, shape it with criteria and rotate it on a schedule 👀 www.gabrielebartolini.it/articles/202...

The CNPG Headlamp Plugin has been released, in case you were looking for a #Kubernetes UI. What started as a small experiment that Tamara Nocentini worked in in her spare time is now a CloudNativePG community project: cloudnative-pg.io/blog/headlam... #PostgreSQL

ControlPlane has selected CloudNativePG and #PostgreSQL as the backend for #OpenBao's reference architecture: control-plane.io/posts/enterp... (ICYMI OpenBao is the open source fork of #Vault)

🚀 CloudNativePG 1.30.1 & 1.29.3 are out! These maintenance updates bring improved failover behavior along with key fixes and enhancements. They also lay the groundwork for v1.31.0, which will make HA and failover even more solid. Read more: cloudnative-pg.io/releases/clo... #PostgreSQL #kubernetes

One of our maintainers fixed a 13-year-old #PostgreSQL bug 🐛 Marco Nenciarini resolved a cascading standby reconnect bug that has been sitting in PostgreSQL's streaming replication code since version 9.3 (released in 2013): www.enterprisedb.com/blog/13-year...

CloudNativePG 1.30 introduces the DatabaseRole CRD for declarative role management and a Lease-based primary election primitive for safer failover. The release includes significant improvements focused on stability, security, and supply-chain integrity as well: cloudnative-pg.io/releases/clo...

The first release candidate of CloudNativePG 1.30 launched! The preview introduces the DatabaseRole CRD for declarative, GitOps-friendly role management and a Lease-based primary election primitive for safer failover: cloudnative-pg.io/releases/clo... Help us test the updates 🙏 #PostgreSQL #K8s

PostgreSQL 19 Beta 1 is here, and you can already test it on #Kubernetes with CloudNativePG! Beta testing is one of the ways to give back to #PostgreSQL: the more we exercise these features in real-world setups, the more bugs we catch before the final release: cloudnative-pg.io/blog/postgre...

⚡ Lightning Talk: “CloudNativePG: da zero a PostgreSQL in 10 minuti” Presented by: Francesco Canovai | Senior Software Engineer at EDB Niccolò Fei | Kubernetes Administrator and Automation Engineer in the Cloud Native Team at EDB

We released CloudNativePG v1.28.3 and v1.29.1, introducing several fixes and addressing a number of CVEs, including one where privilege escalation with the metrics exporter could happen. For upgrade notes: github.com/cloudnative-...

🎉 COMMUNITY PARTNER ANNOUNCEMENT: @cloudnativepg.bsky.social CloudNativePG is the Kubernetes operator that covers the full lifecycle of a highly available PostgreSQL database cluster with a primary/standby architecture, using native streaming replication. 🙌

We're still beaming with pride since at #KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe in April we were celebrated by the #OpenSSF because we earned all five available badges in the #SecuritySlam: Cleaner, Chronicler, Inspector, Mechanizer, and Defender: openssf.org/blog/2026/04...

We're excited about the latest additions to our community of adopters: welcome Kubewarden, Topicus Education, Belastingdienst (the Dutch tax administration), and Tesla! github.com/cloudnative-... #PostgreSQL #Kubernetes #DoK

Gabriele Quaresima's lightning talk at #KubeCon is live for your viewing pleasure. Spend 5 minutes by the CloudNativePG river with us: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwz7... #PostgreSQL #Kubernetes #DoK

We'll be in Bologna this May, and we'll bring CloudNativePG pins! #PostgreSQL #Kubernetes

Enjoying this talk from last year's event by one of our maintainers:

CloudNativePG 1.29 is now generally available! This major update revolutionizes PostgreSQL extension management via Image Catalogs and the new artifacts ecosystem. Upgrade today for enhanced security, dynamic networking, and enterprise IAM integration: cloudnative-pg.io/releases/clo...

The Cloud Native Theatre was FULL for the session by #CloudNativePG maintainer Gabriele Bartolini and HSBC's Laurent Parodi: "From VMs to Kubernetes in a Large Global Bank: A DBA's Journey". Recording coming soon! #PostgreSQL #Kubernetes #DoK

We had a lot of traffic to the kiosk at the project pavilion today! One more day of #KubeCon to go, many of the maintainers will hang out at the @edbpostgres.bsky.social booth. Let's chat before we're all rushing home / to the next conference again!

Make sure to catch Gabriele Bartolini's talk with Laurent Parodi from HSBC at the Cloud Native Theater at 16:10 today: "Data on Kubernetes Day: From VMs to Kubernetes in a Large Global Bank: A DBA's Journey" sched.co/2EG01 #PostgreSQL #Kubernetes

We met with recent mentee through the LFX program, Anushka Saxena, at #KubeCon this week. Read about the work we did with Anushka on updating our documentation: cloudnative-pg.io/blog/lfx-men...

We had a great day of #KubeCon co-located events! Contributor Gabriele Quaresima presented a project lightning talk on CloudNativePG, and Gabriele Bartolini and Floor Drees presented at the Open Sovereign Cloud Day. Meet some of us maintainers at our kiosk on Wednesday morning!

Today you can find a good number of us at the Maintainer Summit at #KubeCon in Amsterdam. Yesterday, at Cloud Native Rejekts, EDB colleagues Gabriele Fedi, and John Long, presented "Solving Operator Extensibility: A gRPC Plugin Framework for Kubernetes". Recording coming soon!

The latest release of Argo CD (v3.3) explicitly mentions CloudNativePG as part of their expanded action support: octopus.com/blog/argo-3.3 #GitOps #Kubernetes

CloudNativePG 1.29.0 RC1 is now available for testing: cloudnative-pg.io/releases/clo... This release brings Big Changes: 1️⃣ Centralised supply chain for PostgreSQL extensions 2️⃣ Dynamic network access control via pod selectors 3️⃣ Shared ServiceAccounts for simplified IAM integration across clusters

Mischa van den Burg pulls back the curtain on his production-grade ecosystem—from the bare metal to the application layer. This isn't just a hobbyist project; it’s a masterclass in modern infrastructure featuring Talos Linux, Cilium, and CloudNativePG: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7sJ... #PostgreSQL

Friends! We quietly surpassed 8000 stars on GitHub ✨️ To everyone who starred the repo, opened an issue, or told a friend: Thank you. The momentum is real. Next stop: 10k. github.com/cloudnative-...

We're excited to join Cloud Native Days Italy 2026 as an "Open Source Partner". The conference will take place on May 18-19, 2026, in Bologna, and their #CfP is still open until March 6: sessionize.com/cloud-native... @cloudnativedaysitaly.org

We participate in the #SecuritySlam, concluding March 20, just in time for #KubeCon: securityslam.com/slam26/parti... This is not a traditional hackathon. "The Slam" has 5 key objectives that center around the #OpenSSF Open Source Project Security Baseline: securityslam.com/slam26/ Join us?

We adopted a policy on the responsible use of AI: github.com/cloudnative-... We recognize that AI-assisted tools can be powerful aids for development, but they also facilitate "low-effort" or "random" contributions that increase the burden on our maintainers without adding proportional value.

It’s inspiring to see our LFX 2025 Term 3 mentees recognized with their #CNCF peers. Programs like these are the ultimate training ground for the lifelong contributors who sustain the open source world! www.cncf.io/blog/2026/02... #PostgreSQL #Kubernetes

CloudNativePG versions 1.28.1 and 1.27.3 released, delivering important bug fixes and stability improvements: 1️⃣ Critical fix for #PgBouncer upgrades 2️⃣ Timeline protection during WAL restore 3️⃣ Timeline reset after major upgrades cloudnative-pg.io/releases/clo... #PostgreSQL #Kubernetes

Mohsin Ejaz and Luigi Nardi at DBtune used Agentic AI for #Kubernetes #PostgreSQL optimization and achieved a 4.5x improvement in average query runtime. Learn more: www.dbtune.com/blog/tuning-...
