🚀 New Blog: Replicating CrystalDBA with pgEdge MCP Server Custom Tools
What if you could take powerful MCP capabilities even further?
In this post, we show how to replicate and extend CrystalDBA’s functionality using the pgEdge MCP Server, leveraging custom tools to unlock deeper database insights and smarter AI-driven workflows.
From query optimization to performance analysis, MCP servers are quickly becoming the bridge between AI agents and real-world Postgres systems—and with the right tools, you can tailor that power to your exact needs.
If you’re building AI Postgres applications and want more control, flexibility, and performance, this is a must-read.

When dealing with global data, speed and trust matters. Using Patroni with Spock and etcd gives you fail-safe redundancy, instant failover without hiccups, and regional speed.
Imagine your app continues running smoothly (even if a server goes offline)... simply because the system knows exactly how to handle it. Adding tools like our open source Spock extension creates a resilient, multi-master system that spans continents. 🌎
Why settle for less?
Building a high-availability, geo-aware database isn’t just about hardware. It’s about smart layers working together seamlessly.

AI Features in pgAdmin — Configuration and Reports
AI is making its way into everyday PostgreSQL tooling. In this first post of a three-part series, we walk through how to enable and configure AI features in pgAdmin, and how they can generate insights like security reviews, performance analysis, and design recommendations directly from your database environment.
Learn how to:
✔ Configure AI settings and connect an LLM provider
✔ Generate AI-powered security and performance reports
✔ Use AI to analyze schemas and database configurations
✔ Get practical insights to help optimize and manage Postgres
If you're curious how AI can enhance your Postgres workflows, this guide is a great place to start.

📣 PG Phridays is back with a new deep dive.
In this latest post, we start a hands-on walkthrough of building a highly available PostgreSQL cluster using Patroni, beginning with the critical role of etcd in coordinating cluster state and leader election.
Tools like Patroni rely on distributed configuration stores such as etcd to manage replication, monitor node health, and automate failover when the primary node fails—helping keep PostgreSQL clusters resilient and online.
If you’re designing Postgres for reliability in production, this guide walks through the foundation step-by-step.
