## AI overview

Google Cloud recaps its participation in 2026 PostgreSQL community events, including discussions of logical replication, global index architecture, DDL replication, and AI-assisted development workflows.

## Source excerpt

by Dilip Kumar, Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL & Matt Cornillon, Sales EMEA Google Cloud is deeply committed to the long-term success of the PostgreSQL ecosystem. Our involvement goes beyond providing PostgreSQL managed services; it's also about active participation in the open source communities through technical contributions, leadership in conference committees, and sharing architectural insights that benefit all users. Following is a recap of recent events Google Cloud participated in. PGConf.dev 2026 Serving as a vital developer-centric hub, PGConf.dev provides a unique opportunity for collaboration with the full assembly of senior PostgreSQL committers. This gathering is essential for aligning technical efforts and shaping the future project roadmap. Key Highlights Participation focused on strategic coordination with PostgreSQL committers regarding logical replication development, and a consultation on global index architecture. High community interest confirms the Global Index feature solves a vital architectural requirement for enterprises. Established community consensus to pursue a deparsing-based architectural approach for DDL replication. Google Cloud Sessions Dilip Kumar, a PostgreSQL contributor from Google Cloud, presenting "Experimenting with a Global Index in PostgreSQL" at pgconf.dev 2026 in Vancouver. He is speaking at a podium next to a presentation slide detailing the Global Index storage architecture and PartitionIdentifier management.
