On stage at @PGConfIndia now is Nikhil Sontakke from the #PostgreSQL team at Microsoft presenting to a standing room only crowd on: “Postgres: ServerLESS is more?”

Paraphrasing Ashutosh Bapat, Nikhil is explaining the complex topic of serverless computing with everyday, familiar examples that touch Indian minds.

My favorite quote from the talk: “Everything’s well that ends in the WAL”

[Nikhil Sontakke @nikkhils]

Really excited to be speaking about what it takes to be a #serverless #PostgreSQL #database in #cloud deployments at #PGConf #India #2025! See you there soon! https://t.co/fY47VHrdKQ @PGConfIndia

That’s a sales quote for an SUV. The state govt, the central govt and the road ministry probably makes more profit on each car sold than the company itself.
