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.

Andres Freund Citus DataPostgresql's buffer manager has parts where it's showing its age. We'll discuss how it currently works, what problems there are, and what attempts are in progress to rectify its weaknesses.
- Lookups in the buffer cache are expensive
- The buffer mapping table is organized as a hash table, which makes efficient implementations of prefetching, write coalescing, dropping of cache contents hard
- Relation extension scales badly
- Cache replacement is inefficient
- Cache replacement replaces the wrong buffers
