Open Source Roundup: PostgreSQL, AI, Linux & Space

Open Source Roundup: PostgreSQL, AI, Linux & Space

PostgreSQL Performance and High Availability Two FOSSASIA 2026 talks tackle PostgreSQL challenges. Biscuit introduces a bitmap-based index for wildcard searches, outperforming B-tree and pg_trgm by avoiding heap rechecks. Pgpool-II middleware adds connection pooling, load balancing, and auto failover for scalable PostgreSQL clusters. For DBAs and architects, these tools address critical performance and reliability pain points … Read more

Biscuit: Solving PostgreSQL’s Wildcard Search Performance Problem, Sivaprasad Murali, #FOSSASIA 2026

Wildcard searches (LIKE and ILIKE) are common in PostgreSQL applications, but they often become a major performance bottleneck. Traditional B-tree indexes only optimize prefix searches, while pg_trgm can produce false positives that require expensive heap rechecks.

This session introduces Biscuit, an open source PostgreSQL extension that uses a new bitmap-based indexing approach to accelerate wildcard pattern matching. Learn how Biscuit integrates with the PostgreSQL query planner, avoids unnecessary heap rechecks, and delivers faster, more predictable query performance for text-heavy workloads.

We’ll explore the indexing algorithm, benchmark results against B-tree and pg_trgm, practical use cases, and the trade-offs of building a custom PostgreSQL index access method. Whether you’re a PostgreSQL DBA, database developer, or systems engineer, this talk offers valuable insights into query optimization and PostgreSQL internals.
