Automated PostgreSQL Release Tracking
Every Monday, WebRun opens postgresql.org, reads the current release and security pages, works out whether any version your team runs has a newer patch release, posts a plain summary to Microsoft Teams, and opens a Trello card for each upgrade you now owe.
How do I keep track of new PostgreSQL releases and security advisories?
WebRun checks postgresql.org every Monday, compares the latest published minor releases and security advisories against the major versions your team runs, and posts a plain summary to Microsoft Teams. It then opens one Trello card per upgrade you owe, so a patch release never quietly passes your team by.
- Security advisories reach the team the week they publish
- Every owed upgrade has one tracked Trello card
- No manual checking of release pages on a Monday morning
Built for platform engineers · DBAs · DevOps teams · SRE teams

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it upgrade my database?
No. WebRun only reads the public release pages and writes a Trello card. It never touches a server, runs a command, or applies a patch. A human does the upgrade.
How does it know which versions I run?
You list your major versions once during setup, for example 15 and 16. WebRun compares each against the newest published minor release every Monday.
Does it create a duplicate card every week?
No. It checks the board first and skips any version that already has an open upgrade card, so a pending upgrade stays as one card until you close it.
