Peter van Hardenberg HerokuThe PostgreSQL community is over 20 years old, but the history of PostgreSQL dates back even farther. In this talk, we'll learn about the roots of the Postgres project, learn about some of the people who contribute to it, study how it has changed over time, and pay special attention to the many contributions of Russian people.

Алексей Лесовский PostgreSQL Consulting LLCStreaming replication has been introduced in 2010 and quickly became one of the most popular features of PostgreSQL. Today, it is hard to imagine PostgreSQL installation without streaming replication. With its stability, high efficiency and ease of configuration one would have thought it is an optimal feature. However, while using it you might sometimes enter murky waters. This often can be resolved by using a combination of built-in and third party troubleshooting tools. In my talk I will provide an overview of these tools and explain how with their help one can diagnose, understand and eliminate problems related to streaming replication. I will also go through the most frequent issues occurring when streaming replication is used and will propose possible solutions. This talk is primarily aimed at DBAs and system administrators who use PostgreSQL in their day-to-day.

Dmitry Ivanov PostgresProPartitioning is a long-awaited feature in PostgreSQL. Although Postgres supports partitioning via inheritance, this approach has some disadvantages, such as the need to manually create partitions and support triggers, significant planning overhead, and no query execution optimizations. In this talk, we’ll tell you about the pg_pathman extension we are developing. pg_pathman supports HASH and RANGE partitioning, performs planning and execution optimizations, supports fast insert by using Custom Node instead of triggers, provides functions for partition management (add, split, merge, etc.), supports FDW, non-blocking data migration, and more. We'll also speak about pg_pathman integration with Postgres Pro Enterprise Edition and Oracle-like syntax support for partitioning. Finally, we'll discuss new partitioning capabilities in PostgreSQL 10, the already implemented features and further development plans.

Marco Slot Citus DataCitus allows you to distribute postgres tables across many servers. It extends postgres to transparently delegate or parallelise work across a set of worker nodes, enabling you to scale out the CPU and memory available for queries.
One year ago, we began a long journey to allow Citus to scale out another dimension: write throughput. With writes being routed through a single postgres node, write throughput in Citus was ultimately bottlenecked on the CPUs of a single node. Citus MX is a new edition of Citus which allows distributed tables to be used from from any of the nodes, enabling NoSQL-like write-scalability.
