Hopefully pushing back upstream. I don't really care what they do, as long as they push back their usually awesome changes upstream.

Great to see these sorts of things, Postgres has been amazing and glad people realise it.



Most of the changes aren’t relevant to upstream - a lot these companies seem to be using Postgres as a frontend over some kind of secret sauce, usually related to custom storage or deployments or the like. Postgres seems very modular and pluggable that way.

I assume for the common Postgres core changes everyone is already incentivised to contribute changes back upstream - the companies are banking on Postgres popularity can need it to have an excellent reputation even outside of their specific customised offering.
