The 8-1 ruling throws open the door for employers to sue unions for damages in the event of a strike, implying that strikes are only allowed so long as they do not in any way harm the company’s bottom line.

One of the big topics in Postgres is bloat. It is something that every DBA comes across and in fact we have a few good posts on how to work with bloat in our blog.
Update-heavy tables is a special case of data that due to business requirements needs to be updated frequently to stay relevant. Autovacuum may be a good solution for table bloat (you can check this post describing how to do that), however it does not help with index bloat.
Pg_index_watch resolves this issue by automatically rebuilding indexes when needed.

excited about the new feature that allows logical replication from standbys,
allowing users to:create logical decoding from a read-only standby
reduce the workload on the primary server
have new ways to achieve high-availability for applications that require data
synchronization across multiple systems or for auditing purposesA second relevant and exciting new feature coming in 16 is that replication
slots on a given standby persist the promotion of that standby to a primary.
This means that in the event of primary server failure and promotion of a
standby to primary, the replication slots will persist and the former-standby
