PGNexus Weekly News This Week in PostgreSQL This week's PostgreSQL highlights span performance diagnostics, tooling, migration, and disaster recovery. A hidden EC2 single-flow TCP bandwidth cap was causing replication lag on FSx; adding nconnect=16 fixed it instantly. pg_statviz 1.2 arrives with PostgreSQL 19 support and a new blocking locks module. EDB Postgres AI delivers 180x faster disaster recovery for a banking warehouse. Migrating multilingual full-text search from SQL Server to PostgreSQL gets detailed AWS guidance covering eight languages.
