How Teamwork and Partnerships drive the PostgreSQL community forward
At OpenSource DB (OSDB), collaboration is not just a guiding value, it’s the foundation of everything we build. Whether through internal teamwork, partnerships with PostgreSQL innovators, or initiatives with community groups like Postgres Women India (PWI), we believe meaningful progress happens when people unite around a shared purpose.
This week’s theme: “Collaboration in Action” celebrates the partnerships, collective efforts, and community spirit that propel the PostgreSQL ecosystem forward.
Building Together: Partnerships that power progress
Under the leadership of Hari Kiran, Founder of OpenSource DB and a passionate advocate for open-source collaboration, OSDB has grown into a trusted partner for organizations and communities alike.
Our collaborations with Aiven, pgEdge, CYBERTEC, Reforms21, DBtune, and DigitalOcean exemplify our belief that the best outcomes emerge from shared expertise and collective innovation.
Each partner contributes uniquely to advancing PostgreSQL’s reach and capability:
– Aiven – advancing cloud-managed PostgreSQL and driving open-source innovation.
– CYBERTEC – bringing deep consulting, performance tuning, and enterprise-grade training.
– DBtune – delivering intelligent performance optimization powered by AI.
– DigitalOcean – simplifying Cloud deployments for developers & enterprises around the world.
– pgEdge – enabling distributed PostgreSQL for scale and resilience.
– Reforms21 – supporting migration of Oracle Form to Java, completely automated.
Together, these partnerships help OSDB empower enterprises to modernize, optimize, and scale their PostgreSQL environments — while preserving the core values of open source.
Strength in Community: User Groups Leading the Way
OSDB’s community-centric approach thrives through India’s regional PostgreSQL user groups — PgHyd, PgVizag, and PgMumbai — which we actively support as platforms for learning, collaboration, and connection.
– PgHyd continues to lead with consistent meetups, technical sessions, and shared learning.
– PgVizag is emerging as a vibrant hub connecting students, professionals, and educators.
– PgMumbai is the new brainchild, fostering collaboration among working professionals and new enthusiasts.
Each user group embodies collaboration in action, where community-driven learning empowers individuals and strengthens the ecosystem as a whole.
Empowering Inclusion: Postgres Women India
An integral part of OSDB’s collaborative network is Postgres Women India (PWI) a movement dedicated to promoting diversity, learning, and representation in the PostgreSQL community.
With the continued support of Hari Kiran and the OSDB team, PWI creates spaces for women to speak, lead, and inspire across community events and initiatives, ensuring that the PostgreSQL ecosystem remains inclusive and forward-looking.
Collaboration as a culture
For OSDB, collaboration isn’t a one-time initiative, it’s a way of life. Every partnership, every meetup, every success story reflects one simple truth:
Open source moves forward when people move forward together.
The combined impact of PgHyd, PgVizag, PgMumbai, PWI, and our global partners: Aiven, PGEdge, CYBERTEC, Reforms21, DBtune, and DigitalOcean demonstrates what’s possible when expertise, passion, and purpose align.
Looking Ahead
As OpenSource DB continues to grow, our focus remains on strengthening the PostgreSQL community through collaboration that connects people, ideas, and innovation.
At Open Source DB, we truly believe:
When we build together, we grow together.
