In the data persistence layer, using PostgreSQL from the very start of development, we went all the way from a small cluster on a virtual machine to a multi-host system that provides near real-time processing of mixed OLTP/OLAP load. In this talk, I’m going to tell you about the main development stages of our analytical solution at the application and infrastructure levels, and describe the specifics of using PG that we encountered.

Using PostgreSQL since 2003, we went all the way from a database of a couple of GB to a cluster of more than 5TB. At the moment, we have more than 700 tables and about 1500 stored procedures. We are ready to share with you the following: - Problems encountered at different development stages and how we resolved them. - Best practices in database administration. - Our own extension to work with several closely related databases. - Best known methods and tools that enable our several teams to work together without interference. - How we set up test equipment of different types. And, of course, we'll talk about optimization, and how we identify bottlenecks and high-load use cases.

This talk is about migrating an electronic document management system from MS SQL to PostgreSQL 9.5 or higher as part of the import phaseout initiative. We will touch upon architecture specifics, as well as describe the problems we encountered when migrating T-SQL code to pgsql, and how we resolved them.

Database systems are increasing in size and so is the need to process huge amounts of data in real time. As commercial database vendors are bragging about their capabilities we decided to push PostgreSQL to the next level and exceed 1 billion rows per second to show what we can do with Open Source. To those who need even more: 1 billion rows is by far not the limit - a lot more is possible. Watch and see how we did it.
