Will Leinweber HerokuIn 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

Michael PaquierA backup is something that no Postgres deployments should go without as it gives the insurance to get back a deployment on its feet should a disaster strike.
In this talk we will discuss why backups are essential in any sane PostgreSQL deployments (this seems obvious) and what are the different options available to define and set up a good backup strategy. On top of that is discussed how the future of backups would need to be handled, particularly regarding differential backups that gain in popularity among users with large deployments.

Tatsuo IshiiThe 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.

Magnus Hagander PostgreSQL Global Development GroupUnlike most other databases, PostgreSQL is developed by a community, and not by a company or even a foundation. Those who have been members of this community for a long time generally consider this a strength, but it can often be confusing to outsiders who are more used to dealing with traditional organization. For those who are not already on the inside, this talk will give an introduction to how the PostgreSQL community works and how the different parties interact, as well as how this has evolved over the years.
