Google Cloud is deeply committed to the long-term success of the PostgreSQL ecosystem. Our involvement goes beyond providing PostgreSQL managed services; it's also about active participation in the open source communities through technical contributions, leadership in conference committees, and sharing architectural insights that benefit all users. Following is a recap of recent events Google Cloud participated in.
PGConf.dev 2026
Serving as a vital developer-centric hub, PGConf.dev provides a unique opportunity for collaboration with the full assembly of senior PostgreSQL committers. This gathering is essential for aligning technical efforts and shaping the future project roadmap.
Key Highlights
Participation focused on strategic coordination with PostgreSQL committers regarding logical replication development, and a consultation on global index architecture.
High community interest confirms the Global Index feature solves a vital architectural requirement for enterprises.
Established community consensus to pursue a deparsing-based architectural approach for DDL replication.
Google Cloud Sessions

The three-day conference was divided into a training day followed by two days of sessions. More than 580 participants attended the conference over three days.
The conference sessions included a mix of keynotes, breakout technical sessions, sponsor sessions, and booth interactions.
France hosts two distinct flagship PostgreSQL events, and Google Cloud is deeply embedded in both as both organizers and technical contributors. While PGDay Paris serves as an international, English-language hub for the European community, PGDay France is a community-driven, traveling event that focuses on the francophone ecosystem, taking place in Toulouse for 2026.
Key Highlights
Matt Cornillon served on the organization committee for PGDay France, while Yves Colin contributed as a member of the program committee.
FOSDEM PGDay is a prominent open source gathering that brings together developers from across the globe to discuss the latest PostgreSQL advancements. It serves as an essential platform for exploring emerging paradigms in database development.
Key Highlights
Exploration of how AI-assisted workflows are redefining development beyond standard autocomplete for SQL queries.
PGConf Belgium 2026 took place at the UCLL Campus Proximus in Haasrode, Belgium, serving as an outstanding learning and networking platform for the local PostgreSQL community and students.
Key Highlights
The session was selected by faculty as supportive material for a database exam following deep student engagement.
Nordic PG Day is the largest PostgreSQL event in the Scandinavian countries. The 2026 edition took place in Helsinki, gathering more than 130 PostgreSQL enthusiasts for a day of deep dives.
Key Highlights
Google joined as an official Partner-level sponsor for the first time, including a dedicated table booth.
Swiss PG Day is the annual event organized by the Swiss PostgreSQL User Group in Rapperswil, Switzerland. The ninth edition featured sessions in both English and German.
Key Highlights
Demonstration of the physical impact of pushing millions of vectors to PostgreSQL based on a real-world use case.
Since its inception in 2007, the Postgres Conference has served as a cornerstone for advancement, fostering a rich environment for learning and professional networking.
Key Highlights
Google proudly served as a sponsor for the event.
Adapting PostgreSQL for the artificial intelligence era demands a transformation in operational approaches. With the rise of natural language tools and vibe coding speeding up development, Agentic AI places advanced demands on production databases. In his presentation, Vikas examines how Google Cloud managed services have evolved to handle these workloads, providing architectural strategies and best practices for contemporary AI deployment.
Googlers play a vital role in shaping the direction of the most prestigious PostgreSQL developer events. Our leadership in these committees helps ensure that enterprise-grade requirements—such as those needed for large-scale migrations—are part of the global conversation.

We are excited to announce the general availability of Google Workspace inbound SCIM APIs to help IT administrators standardize identity lifecycle management. This new capability allows you to sync your Google Workspace directory in real time with any SCIM-compatible Identity Provider (IdP), HR system (HRIS), or custom application.
With inbound SCIM, when a Workspace end user’s account permissions are changed via their organization’s IdP, their access to Workspace data and any downstream apps, such as Gemini Enterprise, will also be updated in real time. Previously, customers would need to build custom integrations using Google directory APIs.
SCIM overview
System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) is an open protocol that synchronizes directory information between identity systems. With inbound SCIM, Google Workspace acts as a SCIM Service Provider, enabling compatible Identity Providers (IdPs) to automatically provision, update, and deactivate users and groups in real time.
Inbound SCIM offers:
Automated lifecycle management: IT teams no longer need to manually create user accounts or update details for Workspace, saving significant time and costs.
Seamless onboarding and day-one productivity: New employees have access to all Workspace productivity tools the moment they start, creating a frictionless onboarding experience.
Enhanced security with instant deprovisioning: When an employee leaves your organization or changes roles, SCIM instantly pushes an update request to Workspace. This eliminates the security risks associated with orphaned accounts and makes compliance audits significantly easier.
Simplified admin experience: Inbound SCIM offers a one-click token generation experience and admin controls to lock synced groups from your external source to prevent manual changes in Workspace that would conflict with your identity provider.
Getting started
Admins: This feature will be available by default and can be disabled/enabled at the domain level. Visit the Help Center to learn more.
End users: This is an admin-facing feature only.
