Munich replaces VMware, Jira and Oracle with open source one layer at a time

Munich expects roughly €1.5 million or more in annual savings from two open-source migrations, ZDNET reported from a Prague keynote. The city is leaving the Linux desktop alone for now. One speech is thin evidence for a wider pattern.

Apple's idle Macs pull their own AI jobs from a PostgreSQL queue, with no central scheduler

Apple's internal Minions system moves stalled AI jobs onto idle Macs, cutting some 10-plus-hour GPU queues to as little as minutes. The researchers also saw a common worry about team data running on devices outside the group.

Postgres 19's REPACK CONCURRENTLY trades VACUUM FULL's table lock for a 3.8x rise in average insert latency

Postgres 19's REPACK CONCURRENTLY cut a 200M-row table from 19 GB to 4117 MB in about 66 seconds in depesz's test, with inserts running. Average insert latency rose from 1.469 ms to 5.536 ms during that window.

Agents are creating databases for a fixed number of administrators, pgEdge's CEO says

Stack Overflow's survey puts PostgreSQL first among developers' preferred databases for a fourth straight year. Databricks says agents spin up 80% of enterprise databases, so the planning number is databases per administrator.

Databricks isolates app and database limits in its Lakebase Search sizing test

Databricks tests Lakebase Search on 1M to 4M rows, using a 23,000-row internal app as its baseline. A search request touches two computes, the app's and the database's, and either one can set the limit.

Supabase buys Turso so agent databases can start as SQLite and grow into Postgres

Supabase is acquiring Turso, the Rust rewrite of SQLite built for one database per agent or task, and did not disclose a price. Teams on either product should watch whether a SQLite-style engine and a Postgres platform stay separate products.

PostgreSQL 19 beta's REPACK CONCURRENTLY kept a live client's worst stall to 0.33 seconds

REPACK CONCURRENTLY stalled a live client 0.33 seconds at worst in PostgreSQL 19 beta 4, against 3-6 seconds under VACUUM FULL, a dev.to post reported. The runs pit it against VACUUM FULL alone, so retiring pg_repack is still an open question.

Supabase's grants-based 42501 reaches existing projects after October 30, a post says

A dev.to author says Supabase's 42501 error from missing table grants will show up on existing projects after October 30, 2026. Adding an RLS policy does not clear that case, the author reports from local-stack tests, so telling it from the three policy causes means reading the message text.

Confirmed Claude-found open source bugs outnumber upstream patches 11 to 1

Anthropic's Claude flagged more than 29,000 candidate open source vulnerabilities in six months, and upstream projects have patched 516 of them. Maintainers praise the reports, but each fix still ships only as fast as the project that tests and releases it.

Splunk fixed 22 Enterprise CVEs on October 7, led by a 9.8 unauthenticated command flaw in the Patroni REST API. Sites without Edge Processor, OpAmp or SPL2 pipelines can switch off the PostgreSQL sidecar now, but a second 9.8 still needs the upgrade.

Supabase's new API default skips the existing tables behind UpGuard's 16,326 readable databases

UpGuard found 16,326 Supabase databases with readable tables in a scan of roughly 300,000 domains. Supabase's new default keeps new tables off its APIs, but older tables keep their grants until owners review them and their row-level security.

pg_search 0.26 trades single-term speed for a fourfold gain on ten-term BM25 search

ParadeDB's pg_search 0.26 cut a ten-term BM25 search from 129ms to 29ms in a benchmark published on dev.to. The same storage change made single-term queries several times slower, so teams whose searches are mostly one or two words would pay for the upgrade.

Supabase stops auto-granting anon, authenticated and service_role on new tables in existing projects on October 30, an auditor writing on dev.to reports. Tables created after that need scoped grants in their migrations, since the common GRANT ALL TO public shortcut lets anonymous callers back in.

PostgreSQL 19's REPACK CONCURRENTLY rewrites bloated tables while writes continue

PostgreSQL 19 adds REPACK CONCURRENTLY, a built-in online table rewrite that a dev.to demo ran on a 30-million-row table while updates ran. Teams get an in-core alternative to VACUUM FULL and the pg_repack tool, with the risk moved to a brief lock at the end of the run.

Readyset widens its cache by rewriting more SQL into shapes its dataflow engine maintains

Readyset's compiler now rewrites subqueries in HAVING, ORDER BY and inner and outer join conditions so its dataflow cache can keep them current. Queries it cannot safely rewrite go to the database uncached, so SQL coverage sets how much read load it takes.
