PgConf.Russia 2016

More than 300.000 developers use technology platform "1C:Enterprise" as a main development tool. I'll tell you about architecture and features that made "1C:Enterprise" one of the most popular development environment in Russia and CIS and about growing popularity of PostgreSQL amongst 1C users.

This talk will cover "hasql", a highly-efficient library for integration of Haskell and PostgreSQL. The library provides an API for declarative programming, which is also quite flexible and terse. The talk will cover the benefits of declarative programming as well as the architectural and technical solutions behind the library, including the implementation of the PostgreSQL binary protocol. Hasql is used in PostgREST, a popular modern restful API for Postgres.
