As always, major Postgres releases bring a load of new features and improvements. Tudor Golubenco from Xata does a great job of giving us an overview together with practical examples: https://xata.io/blog/going-down-the-rabbit-hole-of-postgres-18-features

This is smart: use S3 to transfer big amounts of data between A and B, due to the way S3 is priced. Definitely useful for big migrations that would otherwise cost a lot of data egress fees: https://www.bitsand.cloud/posts/slashing-data-transfer-costs/

This post connects the decline of power users to real consequences: weaker privacy/audit ability, less resilience when platforms die, and a shrinking “builder pipeline” into engineering. A read to think about for sure: https://fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/the-slow-death-of-the-power-user/
