Logical replication in PostgreSQL powers migrations, upgrades, CDC pipelines, and active/active architectures—but at its core, it is a flexible mechanism for transporting ordered data changes.

This talk explores major PostgreSQL 18 improvements to logical replication conflict handling, including explicit conflict detection, classification, and observability. Through live demos, see how conflicts that were once silent or vague apply failures are now visible, structured, and measurable.

Learn why PostgreSQL intentionally avoids built-in conflict resolution, allowing higher-level tools to implement safe and predictable behavior for blue/green deployments, migrations, and multi-active systems. We’ll also look ahead at the future of PostgreSQL logical replication and conflict management.

Vincent Caldeira (Field CTO at Red Hat) explores the urgent need for Sovereign AI in financial services. He explains how open source provides the only viable path to independent control over infrastructure, data, and models, ensuring banks don’t just "rent opaque intelligence".

0:45 The Tipping Point: Board Interest vs. Regulatory Scrutiny
1:15 Defining Sovereign AI in Finance
1:45 Operational Resilience and Data Exposure
2:15 Concentration Risk: The Danger of Single-Vendor Dependency

3:15 Open Source as the Answer: The Platform Layer
4:15 The Rise of Open Models vs. Frontier Models
5:00 Governance as Proof: The AI Governance Framework
5:30 Three Takeaways: Platform, Supply Chain, and Industry Standards

📊 The Problem: Renting "Opaque Intelligence" When financial institutions rely on closed, proprietary AI vendors, they surrender control over their entire AI stack. This creates significant banking risks: Operational Resilience due to data exposure , Concentration Risk through single-vendor dependency , and Model Risk where decisions cannot be explained to regulators.

🏗️ The Solution: The Sovereign AI Stack
Vincent proposes a three-layer approach to achieving independent control using open technology:
* Open Platform Foundation: Building AI-as-a-Service using open technologies like Kubernetes and vLLM to run independently of specific infrastructure.
* Model Parity: Leveraging open models that have caught up to proprietary ones, allowing banks to tune them with private data within their own firewalls.
* Machine-Readable Governance: Using the FINOS AI Governance Framework to demonstrate control through automated, auditable policies.

⚙️ Why This Matters for Financial Engineering
* Supply Chain Transparency: Understanding where data comes from and how models are trained to mitigate systemic risks.
* Regulatory Proof: Building a governance framework that is truly in line with industry needs and provides "evidence" of compliance.

The takeaway: You must have independent control over your infrastructure, data, and models to truly own your AI future. Vincent Caldeira proves that open source is the essential foundation for Sovereign AI in finance.

There’s a new Ubuntu LTS release and quite a lot is new, Canonical’s infrastructure was taken down and we disagree about whether it could have been avoided, two recent examples of irresponsible vulnerability disclosure, and the Steam controller finally arrives with a hefty price tag.

We’ve never had this level of user context before.

Soon, brands will be able to personalize every interaction in real time by injecting the right data at the right moment into AI systems.

This is what the future of customer experience looks like:
context-aware, dynamic, LLM-driven interactions.
