I converted from MySQL (before whole MariaDB and fork), and I’ve been happier with every new version. My biggest moment of joy was JSONB and it keeps getting better. Can we please make the connections lighter so that I don’t have to use stuff like pg-bouncer in the middle? I would love to see that in future versions.
It’s too bad PostgreSQL isn’t more popular. All my $employers for the last 10 years have picked MySQL, presumably because it was more well-known, and not because they objectively compared against PostgreSQL.

Connections are lighter in Postgres 14!
Do you have more information about it ? I am interested too :)

I am all ears!
One link is in a reply to other comment in a tree, and some other details can be found from links from this blog post https://www.depesz.com/2020/08/25/waiting-for-postgresql-14-improvements-for-handling-large-number-of-connections/
Exciting news for financial aggregations.
