How does PostgreSQL help you deliver value to your customers?
At Linux Polska, our mission is to empower organizations through open technology and expert services. PostgreSQL plays a critical role in this mission as the open-source relational database engine of choice for enterprise workflows.
Through our professional support, consulting, and migration services, we help clients harness the full power of PostgreSQL - whether they rely on community Postgres or enterprise-grade extensions like EDB. Its reliability, strict ACID compliance, and open architecture allow us to build and maintain high-performance, resilient data platforms tailored to complex business requirements.
By combining PostgreSQL’s robustness with our hands-on technical guidance, we give our customers complete freedom from proprietary lock-in, significantly lower total cost of ownership, and peace of mind for their mission-critical applications.
What trends do you think will shape the future of databases, and where does PostgreSQL fit in?
The database landscape is being reshaped by three major trends: AI convergence, Cloud-Native architectures, and vendor unbundling. Modern workloads demand vector processing, real-time analytics, and operational reliability within a unified platform, replacing complex multi-database setups with leaner, consolidated architectures.
PostgreSQL sits at the absolute center of this transformation. Thanks to its extensible design and vibrant open-source ecosystem, Postgres seamlessly absorbs new paradigms - such as vector search via pgvector or declarative Kubernetes management via CloudNativePG - without sacrificing its battle-tested relational core. It has become the universal default runtime for modern software.
At Linux Polska, we see PostgreSQL not just as a database, but as a strategic platform. Through our expert support, migration services, and enterprise tooling partnerships, we help organizations leverage Postgres as a flexible, future-proof engine that scales securely across cloud, hybrid, and AI-driven environments.
How do you expect PostgreSQL adoption in Poland to evolve over the next few years, and how could your company support local users and the community?
PostgreSQL adoption in Poland is accelerating rapidly as enterprise organizations, public sector entities, and fintechs transition away from legacy proprietary databases toward open-source platforms. Over the next few years, we expect this growth to shift from initial migrations to advanced modernization - focusing heavily on Cloud-Native deployments (like CloudNativePG on Kubernetes), AI integration, and hybrid cloud architectures.
To support this evolving landscape, Linux Polska acts as a bridge between local IT teams and global open-source innovations. We empower Polish enterprises through hands-on architecture consulting, 24/7 technical support, and tailored training programs - helping local engineers master advanced Postgres optimization, high availability, and security without vendor lock-in.
Equally important to us is nurturing the local ecosystem. We are committed to supporting grassroots initiatives, sponsoring events like PGConf.PL, and hosting technical knowledge-sharing sessions. By investing in local talent and fostering an open, collaborative environment, we aim to help establish Poland as a strong hub for PostgreSQL expertise in Europe.
What are your company’s goals for PGConf.PL 2026?
Our main goal at PGConf.PL 2026 is to actively support and engage with the local PostgreSQL ecosystem in Poland. We want to exchange knowledge, discuss emerging database trends, and share practical insights from our client engagements.
We are excited to connect with database administrators, developers, and IT leaders to discuss real-world challenges - ranging from high availability and database migrations to enterprise security and AI integration.
Ultimately, we want to help build a strong, collaborative local community around PostgreSQL and demonstrate how open technologies can drive real enterprise innovation.
