PgConf.Russia 2016

In addition to providing a general purpose web platform, Heroku has a large, supporting Postgres service. Over the years, we've learned a lot about running Postgres at scale.
In this talk, we'll cover:

• why Postgres is attractive to run as a cloud service
• how to provision, manage, and monitor a Postgres fleet
• tradeoffs needed to make Postgres work in this environment
• automating failure recovery
• and more

• First aquaintance
• Fight with replication
• Partitioning and migration
• Cross data-center use
• v8, json, jsonb, jsquery
• Version upgrade

The talk is about PostgreSQL clusters using streaming replication and pgpool-II, which are quite popular in Japan. Plus, the next version of pgpool-II will be released this winter, so the talk will be about what's new in the version.
