PostgreSQL is one of the most popular DBMSes in the world. But we can see a set of wicked problems in PostgreSQL design, which came from Berkley or were added in very early development stages. Those problems are very annoying for users and aren't resolved for decades: bloat, xid wraparound, write-amplification, and more.

Miraculously, with just a small patch to PostgreSQL core extending this API, it appears possible to solve wicked PostgreSQL problems in a new engine made within an extension. This talk covers how the new engine is integrated with PostgreSQL Core and solves the wicked PostgreSQL problems.
