PostgreSQL Usergroup NL Meetup: Backup and Replication

Yes, we are ready for a new "PostgreSQL User Group NL" meeting.

Once again, we have found a number of interesting topics to increase your PostgreSQL knowledge while enjoying a drink. Do not miss this!

Furthermore we introduce a new item to the program of this Meetup: the lightning talk. A lightning talk is a very short presentation lasting only a few minutes. Everybody has the opportunity to take the stage for a few minutes and talk about a particular subject that he/she wants to share or even want some input on from the group. You can reserve your slot for a lightning talk by sending us a mail or write your name down on the day of the Meetup itself.

This Meetup will be held at the office of KPN Digital. Food and drinks are for free. Thanks to KPN Digital for their hospitality.

HOW IS YOUR BACKUP DOING?

During this session Marc will highlight the importance of having a backup and restore strategy and some PostgreSQL backup possibilities, scenarios and some PostgreSQL backup solutions. What are the possibilities, what is the best solution for my situation and how do I ensure that I achieve my RPO and RTO.

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT REPLICATION BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK

Having a replicated environment is very common nowadays. So common that PostgreSQL configuration settings for replication are active by default. But when it's so common, people starts to forget how it works and what to do when the system start presenting failures. In this talk we will review the main concepts behind streaming replication, how to monitor it, how some settings affect it, what to do in case of failure and some interesting tips and tricks. We will also explore the differences with logical replication, and what are the advantages, challenges and risks of multi-master architecture.

What are Ligtning Talks?

A lightning talk is a very short presentation lasting only a few minutes. Everybody has the opportunity to take the stage for a few minutes and talk about a particular subject that he/she wants to share or even want some input on from the group.

For the first time during a PostgreSQL Meetup we will introduce the Lightning Talks to give everybody the oppertunity to get up the stage and share something.
