PostgreSQL Begins Adding LLVM JIT Support For Faster Performance

Isn't it against AWS interest to boost base postgresql or reduce differentiation against base postgresql? I wish they contributed to postgresql but that would weaken the lock-in of their core offering.

Yes and no. Maybe yes for OLAP features but not in general, because Redshift isn’t fit for everything, and they have plain RDS Postgres offerings. Also, my original post questioned whether they would bring in improvements from Postgres core into their fork (Redshift)... in case you read the opposite.

I know the RDS team has contributed some fixes and the like to Postgres, but I’m unsure of their overall significance.
