The Shift Left Manifesto - v2 (10 minute read)
The updated Shift Left Manifesto sharpens its original software-engineering thesis around provenance: lineage must begin in producer code, not warehouses that only capture data after its meaning and logic have been defined.

This makes governance, model-input traceability, impact analysis, and audit evidence continuous artifacts, a growing requirement as coding agents accelerate cross-system change.

pgrust (GitHub Repo)
pgrust, a Rust rewrite of PostgreSQL, has reached compatibility with Postgres 18.3 by passing all 46,000+ regression queries and can boot directly from existing Postgres data directories. The developers are working on an updated version that passes 100% of Postgres regression tests, uses a thread-per-connection model instead of process-per-connection, and claims to be 50% faster on transaction workloads and roughly 300x faster on analytical workloads compared to standard Postgres.
