In this episode we speak to Tom Kincaid, senior vice president of database servers and tools at EDB and Jozef de Vreis, chief product engineering officer at EDB. both are contributors to PostgreSQL, so they came on to talk about the new features in Postgres 17, which is now available (Note: episode was recorded prior to the release, which is why you'll hear it being referred to as an "upcoming" release).

Key talking points include:

• Why Postgres remains so popular
• Expanded JSON support in this release
• The addition of incremental backup
