PostgreSQL 9.5 Released
Postgres 9.5 is a great release. Upsert is, obviously, a very welcome addition.<p>But I am more interested in row level security policies and its impact on evolution of technologies like Postgrest. It may even spawn a new generation of backend architectures that don't really need app servers to power SPAs and mobile apps. A possible exciting new niche for Postgres.<p>What is not great about Postgres ecosystem is that megacorps who benefit the most from selling hosted Postgres instances ( AWS/Amazon and Compose.io/IBM ) are not present in the list of significant sponsors of PostgreSQL foundation! Heroku/Salesforce is only on the Silver sponsorship level.<p>That's really bad.<p><a href="http://www.postgresql.org/about/sponsors/" rel="nofollow">http://www.postgresql.org/about/sponsors/</a>
