Exploring why PostgreSQL 18 put asynchronous I/O in your database

Nov 11, 2025 By Alexander Fridriksson In Aiven

For years, PostgreSQL relied on synchronous I/O, meaning that when the database needed data from disk, each read operation was a blocking system call. The database process would therefore pause and wait for the data retrieval before moving to the next task. Synchronous I/O works well for local storage, but our database needs have changed drastically since then, resulting in this architecture creating significant bottlenecks when storage has higher latency.

Devart ODBC Drivers vs Free ODBC and JDBC: Key Comparison

Nov 7, 2025 By Dereck Mushingairi In Devart

Most teams never question the JDBC or ODBC drivers they use. If it connects, it’s “good enough.” That assumption can cost more than $14,000 per minute during an outage, according to EMA’s 2024 IT downtime benchmark. Drivers are more than connectors. They dictate how efficiently data moves between databases, applications, and analytics tools. When overlooked, the entire stack slows down. Breakdowns at this level lead to failed reports, missed deadlines, and avoidable downtime.
