PostgreSQL is the backbone of modern data pipelines. FFmate v2 relies on a PostgreSQL queue to cluster FFmpeg tasks, keeping the system running even if a node goes down [1].
Queueing with PostgreSQL — FFmate v2 splits tasks across multiple nodes using a PostgreSQL queue, so the system stays up when a node fails. The Go rewrite behind FFmate provides a solid base for future features. [1]
IO tuning in PostgreSQL 18 — The default for async IO is 'worker' rather than 'io_uring', and there are two tunable settings to test with your workload [2]. The guidance notes that the impact shows up mainly for complex queries with multiple indexes and unoptimized scans, not for straightforward index scans [2].
Migration safety with cross-DB validation — BackupGuardian validates backups before migrations and supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite, analyzing structure and data to give a migration confidence score [3].
Together, these threads show how PostgreSQL underpins orchestration, performance tuning, and migration reliability.
