TDE is now available for PostgreSQL 18
Back in October, before PGConf.EU, I explained the issues impacting the prolonged wait for TDE in PostgreSQL 18. Explanations were needed as users were buzzing with anticipation, and they deserved to understand what caused the delays and what the roadmap looked like. In that blog post I have shared that due to one of the features newly added in 18.0, the Asynchronous IO (AIO), we have decided to give ourselves time until 18.1 has been released to provide a build with TDE. We wanted to ensure best quality of the solution and that takes time.

The Right Tool for the Job
When I first got into woodworking, my mentor shared a piece of advice that has stuck with me ever since: “Use the right tool for the job.” You wouldn’t reach for a belt sander to flatten a board when a planer can accomplish the task faster, cleaner, and with far better results.
The same principle applies in the world of database engineering. When working with MySQL or Percona Server, choosing the correct tool can be the difference between efficient diagnostics and unnecessary downtime.

Percona Operator for MySQL Is Now GA, More MySQL Options for the Community on Kubernetes
We’re excited to share that the new Percona Operator for MySQL (based on Percona Server for MySQL) is officially in General Availability (GA)!
This release introduces native MySQL Group Replication support for Kubernetes, providing our community with another open-source option for running reliable, consistent MySQL clusters at scale.
This is about more choices for the community. Each MySQL replication technology addresses different real-world needs, and now you can choose the one that best fits your workloads.

OIDC in PostgreSQL: How It Works and Staying Secure
In the previous blog post about the topic, OAuth, OIDC and validators, we discussed basic terminologies to understand the differences between the protocols and how they relate to PostgreSQL.
In this second part, we’ll go one step further and see how OIDC works exactly in other software and in PostgreSQL, and what OAuthBearer is about. We also focus on the possible attacks and dangers in this flow with some examples to showcase why it’s important to use a properly configured secure provider and to teach our users not to just skim through the authorization process.
