Is PostgreSQL end-of-life?
No — PostgreSQL still has supported release lines (18, 17, 16, 15, 14). But individual older versions are end-of-life, so what matters is the specific version you run.
How do I know when my PostgreSQL version reaches end of life?
Check the version you run on its product page, or monitor PostgreSQL on IsItPatched to get an email alert before the release line you use reaches end-of-life — so you can upgrade in time.
