Keeping PostgreSQL fast, reliable, and resilient with always-on DBA and 24×7 Helpdesk services
PostgreSQL 13 reaches end-of-life on 13th November 2025, less than a month away. After that, it will no longer receive security fixes or maintenance updates. If you're still running PostgreSQL 13, you are officially on borrowed time. Staying on an unsupported version means carrying hidden risks, including exposure to unpatched vulnerabilities, security risks, performance regressions, and potential compatibility gaps with newer extensions or libraries. With the EOL deadline fast approaching, planning must turn into execution. Validation, testing, and scheduling of the upgrade are now essential to maintain continuity. Teams still on PostgreSQL 13 must act immediately: - Confirm extension and driver compatibility with newer releases - Refresh backup and restore procedures before migration - Use the opportunity to revisit configuration tuning and monitoring Delaying the upgrade is an operational risk, but there is still time to transition in a controlled way.

4dI prefer to stay with the same version longer. Envision businesses that will support older versions of the DBMS, fix bugs and even back-path interesting features. It seems conservative, but it should work.
