Pigsty 3.6, the meta-distribution for PostgreSQL
The Pigsty team is thrilled to announce Pigsty v3.6, our latest step toward a true meta-PostgreSQL distribution. From a single code base you can now launch near 10 distinct PostgreSQL kernels — Babelfish, IvorySQL, OpenHalo, OrioleDB, PolarDB, Supabase-PG, Citus, the brand-new Percona TDE, and more.
Each kernel is wrapped as a production-ready, RDS-style service: HA with Patroni, PITR via pgBackRest, deep observability with Grafana / Prometheus, and fully repeatable infrastructure-as-code -- all without Docker or Kubernetes. Materialized with idemopent ansible playbooks on bare Linux.
This release also introduces a standalone extension catalog (ext.pgsty.com, 423 build-tested packages) and a completely rebuilt documentation site (doc.pgsty.com).
Templates, exporters, and client tooling are ready for PostgreSQL 18 Beta2, while versions 17.5, 16.9, 15.13, 14.18, and 13.21 remain fully supported. Percona TDE and OrioleDB 1.5 β12 bring our supported-kernel count into double digits.
