As PostgreSQL’s native logical replication matures, it is increasingly being adopted for more workloads. However, as adoption increases, so do the challenges. This session is designed as an open forum to gather field feedback, prioritize the community’s development efforts, and brainstorm architectural approaches for the next generation of logical replication features.
We will focus the discussion on following areas with an open mind to discuss others:
Closing the Observability and Usability Gaps Conflict Management: Discussing the progress and design of the Conflict Log Table (CLT) and the path toward standardized conflict resolution strategies. DDL Replication: Assessing the current state of proposals and identifying the "must-have" syntax and safety guards for native DDL support. Failover Slots: Strengthening the reliability of slots during physical-to-logical transitions and ensuring high availability for replication consumers.
Field Feedback and Critical Bug Triage
We invite users and developers to share overlooked edge cases or critical bottlenecks encountered in large-scale deployments. Identifying minor missing features or cryptic error messages—that hinder developer productivity.
Session Goal The objective of this session is to move beyond "feature wishlists" and toward actionable consensus. We aim to identify which features are blockers for wider adoption and establish a priority for the upcoming development cycle(s).
