At 100,000 artifacts, deduplication, indexing, snapshots, atomic cutovers, and incremental publishing become the real challenge. SOW puts all of that into one self-contained binary, turning RPM and DEB repository management from ad hoc directory scripts into a recoverable, auditable state system. https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/v4.4/ Sat, 11 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/v4.4/ Pigsty v4.4 adds Immich and JumpServer application templates, improves the Supabase and VIP experience, and begins standardizing the packages and filesystem layouts used to distribute PostgreSQL forks such as PolarDB and IvorySQL. https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/pg-pig-clone/ Mon, 06 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/pg-pig-clone/ Pig v1.5 adds pig pg clone and pig pg fork, wrapping PostgreSQL 18’s instant cloning capabilities in an agent-native CLI. https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/what-is-pg-distro/ Sat, 04 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/what-is-pg-distro/ Starting with Linux distributions, this essay explains what a “PostgreSQL distribution” actually is: three layers, two paths, and one core idea. https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/v4.3/ Mon, 04 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/v4.3/ Pigsty v4.3 adds 50 PostgreSQL extensions, bringing the total to 510. It also adds Ubuntu 26.04 x86_64/arm64 support, refreshes Supabase, pgEdge, PolarDB, Grafana, MinIO, and a batch of infra packages. https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/dba-agent-body/ Sun, 26 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/dba-agent-body/ Today’s models are smart enough. What they lack is a body: a deterministic runtime that is observable, controllable, and reversible. Pigsty is evolving from a PostgreSQL distribution into an Agent Runtime, giving DBA and Dev Agents the operational reach and context they need to enter real production environments. https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/agent-state-db/ Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/agent-state-db/ Put an AI agent’s working directory, configuration, and memory on a PGFS mount, and you are effectively storing its state in PostgreSQL. That gives you not only a PITR “time machine,” but also a shared workspace and shared memory for multiple agents across multiple devices. https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/pigsty-opc/ Thu, 19 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/pigsty-opc/ Over the last 30 days, pigsty.io served 1.44 million unique visitors, 18.11 million page views, and 1.1 TB of traffic. For a one-person open source project, the real asset here is not ad inventory. It is trust. https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/v4.2/ Sat, 28 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/v4.2/ Pigsty v4.2 turns one stack into 12 enterprise-grade PostgreSQL flavors: multi-master pgEdge, graph-native AgensGraph, MPP Cloudberry, rebuilt compatibility kernels, 461 extensions, infrastructure upgrades https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/v4.1/ Thu, 12 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/v4.1/ Same-day production support for PG 18.2 is the core message of Pigsty v4.1. In this cycle, very few vendors shipped day-zero readiness: AWS RDS, EDB, and Pigsty were among them. https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/agent-moat/ Fri, 06 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/agent-moat/ A mediocre local who knows the terrain beats a genius parachuted into unknown territory. Intelligence without context is idle. An agent without a runtime is vapor. https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/v4.0/ Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/v4.0/ Pigsty v4.0 is a milestone release — what I’d call “Finished Software.” The real theme: Built for AI Agents and enabling the DBA Agent. https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/pigsty-relicense/ Thu, 29 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/pigsty-relicense/ Pigsty switched from AGPLv3 to Apache 2.0. Aren’t you worried about freeloaders? Freeloaders welcome — if you want to become the Debian of databases, a permissive license is table stakes. https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/v3.7/ Wed, 03 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/v3.7/ PostgreSQL 18 becomes the default version, EL10 and Debian 13 support added, extensions reach 437, and Pigsty wins the PostgreSQL Magneto Award. https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/forge-a-pg-distro/ Thu, 27 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://v45.pgsty.pro/blog/article/forge-a-pg-distro/ PostgreSQL already won. The real battle is the distro layer.
