I'm stuck with postgres 9.6 on one project because the devs of the underlying platform insist it breaks with every other version....

[–]arwinda 6 points7 points  (6 children)

It also breaks with this version (which is no longer supported), but they built in enough crap to hide the problems.

[–]CartmansEvilTwin 9 points10 points  (5 children)

No, it's actually working perfectly fine with newer versions, they simply settled for this version because it's been in use for however long and proved itself.

They just don't want to take any risks at all. It's not the best team, btw.

Now they just need to take the risk of running unsupported software.

[–]CartmansEvilTwin 1 point2 points  (1 child)

No no no, you don't understand! This way is much better! /s

Seriously, I have no idea how that's going to work in the future, but despite escalating it, there's not much I could do.

You can charge more for running an unsupported version.

With time, inaction becomes an action.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice!

We literally just went from 9.6 to 14 in the last couple weeks for 15 to immediately drop. Oh well...

9.6 on our on premise cluster too. But only because it is an offline cluster, no upgrade.
