Welcome! After being overwhelmed by positive feedback for our first newsletter two weeks ago, we again did everything we could, provide you with three interesting and exciting articles. This time we are focusing on PostgreSQL - the new release of v16 and a PostgreSQL DBaaS price-performance evaluation. Additionally, we did an in-depth comparison of MongoDB and ScyllaDB, a highly performant NoSQL alternative.
PostgreSQL v16 - Performance Comparison

Performance measurements for four different workload types
Throughput is very similar to PostgreSQL v15
Write latency improved for read-heavy workload
DBaaS PostgreSQL - Price/Performance Evaluation

PostgreSQL from the hyperscalers: AWS RDS, Azure Database and Google CloudSQL
OLTP & OLAP performance measurements
CloudSQL lowest price, but AWS RDS and Azure Database provide better price/performance
