Roadmap

Release Schedule

Pigsty employs semantic versioning, denoted as <major version>.<minor version>.<patch>. Alpha/Beta/RC versions are indicated with a suffix, such as -a1, -b1, -c1.

Major updates signify foundational changes and a plethora of new features; minor updates typically introduce new features, software package version updates, and minor API changes, while patch updates are meant for bug fixes and documentation improvements.

Pigsty plans to release a major update annually, with minor updates usually following the rhythm of PostgreSQL minor releases, aiming to catch up within a month after a new PostgreSQL version is released, typically resulting in 4 - 6 minor updates annually. For a complete release history, refer to Release Notes.

New Features on the Radar

• A command-line tool that’s actually good
• ARM architecture support for infrastructure components
• Adding more extensions to PostgreSQL
• More pre-configured scenario-based templates
• Migrating package repositories and download sources entirely to Cloudflare
• Deploying and monitoring high-availability Kubernetes clusters with SealOS!
• Support for PostgreSQL 17 alpha
• Loki and Promtail seem a bit off; could VictoriaLogs and Vector step up?
• Swapping Prometheus storage for VictoriaMetrics to handle time-series data
• Monitoring deployments of MySQL databases
• Monitoring databases within Kubernetes
• Offering a richer variety of Docker application templates
