THE GOLDILOCKS-ZONE: BETWEEN GUESSING AND A FULL BENCHMARK

door Ellert van Koperen, DB-Architect and Performance Tuner

Over 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

Door Marc Linster, CCO EDB

Over 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 Lightning Talks?

A Lightning talk is a short presentation given at a conference or meetup. Unlike other presentations, Lightning Talks last only a few minutes and several are usually given in a short time slot by differen

t speakers. Everyone has the opportunity to give their views, share a short topic or ask for input from the audience in the span of 1 slot.

During the PostgreSQL Usergroup NL meetups, through the Lightning Talks, we provide a low-threshold stage for participants to share their experience and knowledge.

Would you like to submit a Lighting Talk, do you have a short topic, would you like to share something within the PostgreSQL domain or what it touches? Send us an email with your suggestion, your topic, or just your name requesting a time slot and we will schedule you into the Lightning Talks! You can also put your name on the list on the night itself!
