PostgreSQL Conference Europe 2026

PostgreSQL now runs everywhere, on-prem, cloud-managed, on Kubernetes. Each deployment model comes with its own monitoring stack, its own blind spots, and its own trade-offs. At the same time, new workloads like AI/vector search with pgvector, agentic access patterns through MCP servers, and streaming pipelines are generating observability pressure that traditional tooling wasn't designed for.

This half-day summit brings together tool maintainers, cloud engineers, Kubernetes operators, and DBAs to explore what a unified PostgreSQL observability strategy looks like across deployment platforms, and where the gaps and opportunities are.

Topics include:

• Unified observability when PostgreSQL runs on bare metal, in the cloud, and on Kubernetes simultaneously.
• Monitoring AI/vector workloads (embedding ingestion, index build pressure, retrieval latency) alongside classical OLTP metrics.
• MCP servers and agentic access patterns: what new telemetry do we need?
• The tooling landscape (pg_stat_statements, pgwatch, pganalyze, PMM, pg_statviz, OTel, Prometheus/Grafana): gaps and future directions.
• Observability as a governance layer in regulated environments (DORA, RGPD, EU Data Act, ...).
