Migrating from MySQL to PostgreSQL: Performance and Replication Best Practices

Summary: Today, many teams are moving from MySQL to PostgreSQL as they update their database systems and plan for future growth. However, too often, there is extra work after the migration: for example checking that tables and constraints were copied correctly, tuning performance, and confirming that replication works properly. Devart’s PostgreSQL tools help DBAs with these tasks through features like Schema Compare, Data Compare, and other tools that help review and manage PostgreSQL databases.

What's under development in Redgate Flyway

In my recent posts, I looked back at the major features we shipped in 2025, highlighted all the exciting things going on in Flyway for Oracle databases, and shared the recent improvements to tracking dependencies for both SQL Server and Oracle databases. But that’s only part of the story. With four development teams working on Flyway, there’s a lot happening. Here’s a look at what’s recently been released, what’s in public preview, and what’s coming next.

The Four Factors of Production-Ready PostgreSQL

Discover how Aiven makes the 4 factors of production-ready PostgreSQL easy A database isn't production-ready just because your application can query it. To be truly ready for production, your PostgreSQL setup must be able to survive node failures, block unauthorized network access, handle sudden connection spikes without crashing, and tell you exactly why a query is running slow. Let’s explore these four factors and how Aiven puts being production-ready on easy mode.

The Complexity Rebound

Redgate’s annual “State of the Database Landscape” survey has been published. Like every other year, it paints a really interesting picture. Personally, I love looking through this in order to better understand where people are experiencing pain in the management of their data. If you know where people are experiencing pain, as a technical person, you know where to focus your own skill development.

Observability Lessons From OpenAI

Writing code is moving from the good old IDE into the realm of autonomous AI agents. One example of this is OpenAI, which has been developing internally with 0 lines of manually written code. You can read about their workflow in their engineering blog: Harness engineering: leveraging Codex in an agent-first world. For me, the main takeaway of OpenAI’s article is how AI has rewritten the constraints equation.
