As in it's available in another language already?

#13Looks amazing. Would love to be able to buy part 1 as it's own book! Perhaps worth making it a series of books instead of parts?

#15There seems to be a demand for developers who know the internals of Postgres to evolve and customize it given that it is being used, at different levels of abstraction/layers, by basically all cloud providers (AWS, MS, Google, etc) and by some DB SaaS. BTW, that would be a cool job to have...

A ton of companies are building on top of PostgreSQL — Yugabyte, Supabase, EdgeDB and Neon.

Another recent one, AlloyDB from Google Cloud. Looks pretty interesting/promising. Sort of like their competitor to AWS Aurora, built on top of Postgres, with the added ability to handle OLAP workloads well (along with apparently great OLTP performance).
TimescaleDB and Citus are notable too.
But yeah, if you’re building a DB product, starting with Postgres and customizing from there seems like an excellent approach.

#19Oh I will surely buy this!
This series of deep articles about Postgres index types looks like it's by the same authors, and is one of the few sources I've found that really goes into the data structures used:

I expect those articles will turn into chapters in this book.
