PostgreSQL Usergroup NL New Year Meetup

We are happy to kick off the Newyear by inviting you to a meetup on January 18th! This time around we are welcome at Tilaa, an ambitous cloudhosting company in ‘s Hertogenbosch.

We have two great talks lined up for you.

Ellert van Koperen - DB architect and Perfomance tuner- will start the program with a talk about his journey with migrating big databases within the dynamic environment of VandeBron Energie.

The second talk is by Marc Linster  - Chief Customer Officer of EDB, who will share with us his vision on the future of PostgreSQL in a demanding and rapidly changing world of digital transformation, analytics and AI.

As usual we have some space in the program reserved for anyone who wants to to a lightning talk. Please contact us through a personal message on meetup.com

We are very grateful to Tilaa, for hosting the Meetup. Registration through Meetup.com is required.

We look forward to a great evening and see you in Den Bosch!

THE GOLDILOCKS-ZONE: BETWEEN GUESSING AND A FULL BENCHMARK

By Ellert van Koperen

About Ellert: 

Ellert van KoperenEllert is working with databases in general since 1998 and PostgreSQL specifically since 2004. After starting as a freelance consultant in 2014 building (web)backends he decided to focus on databases in general and PostgreSQL specifically.

When migrating an existing system in general and a database in particular it often can be quite a challenge to get a decent picture in advance of the needed capacity (CPU, RAM, IOps, storage). Running a POC with a realistic scenario can help with this, but comes with its own challenges. In this short talk I will show how I did it for the customer Vandebron and what turned out to be the goldilocks-zone in the decision making process.

 

THE NEW FRONTIERS FOR POSTGRES

By Marc Linster, CCO EDB

About Marc

Marc is an internationally experienced software executive, leading development, service and support teams in the US, Europe and Asia. He has an in-depth understanding for the software business, including subscription based models, cloud based models, and agile development processes.

Postgres has established itself as a core capability of today’s digital transformation. This talk will explore the role Postgres plays in the IT stack, and what drove that phenomenal success. It will also look at the key requirements of new applications, as they pertain to Postgres. The talk ends with a discussion of the next frontiers for data driven applications: accelerated transformation, distributed systems, analytics, and AI.

Lightning Talks

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. 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.

During a PostgreSQL Meetup we schedule the Lightning Talks to give everybody the oppertunity to get up the stage and share something.

Send us an email if you want to reserve a slot to share some of your experiences, knowlegde, funny or to ask the audience for feedback on a topic. Also you can write down your name on the list at the Meetup itself.
