As one of the most popular open source databases in the world, PostgreSQL won the DB-Engines 2023 Database of the Year last year. However, its number of global committers has remained at a small number (about 30 people) for a long time, and Chinese people are rarely seen on the global contributor list. Tuoshupai has long been participating in the product and ecological construction of the PostgreSQL community with its strong technical capabilities and high-quality and high-quantity code contributions.
Robert Haas, Chief Database Scientist of EnterpriseDB, is a major contributor to PostgreSQL and has been involved in PostgreSQL code commit, review, and merge work as a PostgreSQL Committer since 2009. Since 2017, Robert has been counting PostgreSQL contributors for eight consecutive years, and mentioned in his blog post "Who Contributed to PostgreSQL Development in 2023" published on January 29:
“In 2023, 66% of the new code for PostgreSQL was contributed by 18 of them, and 90% of the new code was contributed by 50 people.”
Among these 50 major contributors, there are only two Chinese, and Extension School technical expert Richard Guo is one of them. This is the second year that Richard has been on the list.

According to Robert's statistics, in 2023, Richard contributed 1,710 lines of code to PostgreSQL, submitted 40 Commits, and ranked 25th on the list. In the 2022 statistics, Richard is also on the list of major code contributors, ranking 38th among the 40 major code contributors with 1,071 lines of code and 24 Commits.
Since Robert's statistics only include the first author (Principle Author) involved in Commits, Richard's contribution is far more than that. According to statistics, the number of Commits Richard participated in in PostgreSQL 16 version is 118.
In addition to Richard, many R&D colleagues of Tuoshupai have made code contributions to multiple versions of PostgreSQL. Especially in the release of PostgreSQL 16, there were a total of 33 contributors from China, and Tuoshupai occupied 5 of them, and ranked close to Half of the number of Commits is among the best in the country .

Regardless of the quality or quantity of code contribution, the Tuoshupai team continues to lead PostgreSQL China's contribution. This achievement fully demonstrates the technical strength of the Tuoshupai team and the corporate culture of embracing openness.

In addition to the PostgreSQL community, the Tuoshupai team has also been active in open source communities such as PostgreSQL, Clickhouse, Kubernetes, and Spark in various forms such as code contributions and lectures, and has used its long-term accumulated technical capabilities to "contribute" to the cloud-native virtual data warehouse PieCloudDB. , bringing users a more flexible, safer, and easier-to-use experience and performance features. In the future, the Tuoshupai team will continue to work hard to innovate on the road of technology and lead the industry forward.
