[$] The kernel from a PostgreSQL point of view (lwn.net)
Andres Freund has <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/967866/">a few claims to fame</a>, but
chief among them is his many years of work to improve the performance of
the <a href="https://postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL</a> relational database
management system. That work requires working with — or around — many
Linux kernel features and behaviors. He put in an appearance at the 2026
edition of <a href="https://kernel-recipes.org/en/2026/">Kernel Recipes</a>
to talk about his experience working with the kernel project, how the
kernel could better support applications like PostgreSQL, and some
interesting developments in the PostgreSQL world.
