        <title>Turning PostgreSQL CSV Logs into Durable Metrics</title>
        <link>https://exp.pgsty.com/design/postgres-log-metrics/</link>
        <pubDate>Mon, 24 Aug 2026 12:17:38 +0800</pubDate>
        
        <guid>https://exp.pgsty.com/design/postgres-log-metrics/</guid>
        <description>Implemented but unreleased. One default-off worker turns complete PostgreSQL CSV records into bounded durable counters and histograms, persisting cursor and aggregates before publishing an immutable snapshot.</description>

        <title>Caching pgBackRest Metrics Outside the Scrape Path</title>
        <link>https://exp.pgsty.com/design/cached-pgbackrest-metrics/</link>
        <pubDate>Sun, 23 Aug 2026 19:34:09 +0800</pubDate>
        
        <guid>https://exp.pgsty.com/design/cached-pgbackrest-metrics/</guid>
        <description>Implemented but unreleased. A bounded background worker validates pgBackRest output and atomically publishes a last-good snapshot, keeping command and repository latency outside Prometheus requests.</description>

        <title>The PostgreSQL Observability Product We Chose Not to Build</title>
        <link>https://exp.pgsty.com/design/observability-product-pivot/</link>
        <pubDate>Thu, 13 Aug 2026 14:17:01 +0800</pubDate>
        
        <guid>https://exp.pgsty.com/design/observability-product-pivot/</guid>
        <description>Superseded on 2026-08-24. The investigation established durable CSV and cardinality requirements, then rejected a new workbench, agent, repository, and brand in favor of bounded metrics inside PG Exporter.</description>

        <title>One Endpoint, Several Sources: The Composite Exporter Contract</title>
        <link>https://exp.pgsty.com/design/composite-exporter/</link>
        <pubDate>Tue, 11 Aug 2026 23:50:55 +0800</pubDate>
        
        <guid>https://exp.pgsty.com/design/composite-exporter/</guid>
        <description>Implemented but unreleased. PostgreSQL remains authoritative while live and cached optional components share one endpoint through bounded timeouts, deterministic family ownership, and local failure isolation.</description>

        <title>Snapshot Histograms Are Gauges, Not Counters</title>
        <link>https://exp.pgsty.com/design/snapshot-histograms/</link>
        <pubDate>Sat, 11 Jul 2026 22:06:29 +0800</pubDate>
        
        <guid>https://exp.pgsty.com/design/snapshot-histograms/</guid>
        <description>Shipped in v1.4.0. PG Exporter rebuilds SQL distributions on every real query and exposes their cumulative buckets, count, and sum as Gauge series rather than pretending they are monotonic counters.</description>
