If you have been here before, you may have noticed the site looks different. thepostgresguy.com now runs on managed WordPress.com. It is the same domain and the same posts, but different plumbing.
Why
The old site ran on my own stack. I liked the flexibility. I did not like patching it, or writing every post in Markdown and pushing it through a pipeline just to fix a typo.
That is time spent on the website instead of the content. I would rather write about Postgres than maintain the thing that displays it, so I stopped.
What went away
The live PostgreSQL tools (the EXPLAIN Visualizer, Index Advisor, Schema Generator, and the rest) did not make the move. WordPress.com cannot run them, and usage was zero. Keeping them alive for nobody is not a good use of anyone’s time.
What’s next
- More posts, because the friction to write them just dropped.
- The Vacuum & Analyze newsletter, published from here.
- More video on YouTube.
If a link broke or something looks off, let me know. Otherwise, let’s go deeper than the docs.
