Google and PostgreSQL: open source contributions and Building Agentic Applications with AlloyDB and Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL
October 20–23
PostgreSQL has become the open-source foundation for modern enterprise architectures and autonomous AI applications. In this Keynote, Mose Tronci (EMEA Database Practice Lead, Google Cloud) explores Google’s commitment to upstream PostgreSQL core engineering and cloud database innovation.
Mose opens with Google’s direct upstream contributions to core PostgreSQL, highlighting recent advancements in global indexes for partitioned tables, deparsing-based DDL replication, and accelerated pg_upgrade for Large Objects.
He then turns to Google Cloud’s database portfolio, showing how Cloud SQL and AlloyDB elevate PostgreSQL with enterprise reliability and disaggregated storage. Finally, Mose deep-dives into AlloyDB for the agentic era, spotlighting AI search (ScaNN-powered vector indexing), in-database AI functions (SQL embeddings and model inference), and developer AI tools (Model Context Protocol / MCP integrations) that empower developers to build production-grade agent
