pgEdge Announces ColdFront for PostgreSQL, Seamlessly Uniting AI, Analytical and OLTP Workloads

pgEdge ColdFront is a data tiering solution for PostgreSQL that allows seamless access to hot and cold storage without changing application code, reducing storage costs by up to 90%. The cold tier is writable, enabling operations like UPDATE and DELETE on archived rows using standard SQL commands. ColdFront automatically migrates older data to Apache Iceberg in Parquet format, compatible with S3-compatible object stores, while maintaining full accessibility through a single Postgres table name. It enhances performance with the DuckDB vectorized columnar engine, achieving 10-100x faster analytical performance on cold data. ColdFront simplifies data management by automating the movement of cold data to cost-effective storage, addressing challenges like increased storage costs and operational complexities. It allows for compliance tasks, such as GDPR deletion requests, to be executed with a single SQL statement. Key features include a directly writable cold tier, no application changes required, open-source operation, automated partition lifecycle management, cost-effective operations, and distributed access in multi-master clusters. ColdFront is beneficial for sectors like SaaS, IoT, and regulated industries, and is currently available as a production-grade beta, set to be integrated into pgEdge Cloud in the second half of 2026.

Best antivirus software 2026: free and paid picks

Viruses and malware have become more sophisticated, with phishing emails, AI-generated scams, and deepfake videos posing significant threats. In 2025, Americans lost .9 billion to online scams, affecting even tech-savvy individuals. Built-in malware protections on devices have improved, but the need for additional antivirus software depends on individual usage and risk tolerance. Microsoft Defender, integrated into Windows 11, scored 18/18 on AV-Test and provides real-time protection against various threats. XProtect on Mac updates malware signatures but may miss newer threats, while iPhone users generally do not need antivirus software due to iOS's sandboxing. Android users face higher malware risks and should consider dedicated antivirus solutions. Paid antivirus solutions often include features like VPN services, password managers, identity theft monitoring, and multi-platform coverage, justifying their cost. Many antivirus providers offer steep discounts for the first year, followed by significant price increases upon renewal, so it's advisable to disable auto-renewal and seek new customer rates. Bitdefender Total Security is recommended for its malware detection and light system impact, while McAfee+ Premium offers unlimited device coverage for families. Norton 360 Deluxe provides a comprehensive feature bundle, and Microsoft Defender is the only recommended free antivirus, achieving a perfect score on AV-Test without intrusive ads or upsells.
