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.

Alexey will present technical details and share hands-on experience of extreme data normalization application for data infrastructure with exceptional parameters design and development. Extreme normalization-based data infrastructures has the following competitive advantages in comparison with market leaders: - Real-time data processing for 10 PB of data and more - 2-6 times better overall performance - 100% data consistency through total data landscape - Almost linear scalability - 4-10 lower cost of ownership - etc The abovementioned approach has been successfully utilized out of Russian market in telecommunication, retail, fin-tech, manufacturing (Industry 4.0, industrial IoT), and government institutions.

Dalibo team produces open source tools for PostgreSQL among other things for many years now (see http://dalibo.github.io/).

This time I'll present temBoard, a new tool to remotely control PostgreSQL databases. The project is visible at https://github.com/dalibo/temboard

It's about monitoring, supervision, remote settings and actions... and many more features to come. The main goal is to provide a comprehensive console for PostgreSQL. It's needed by production DBAs, to daily achieve their tasks. We heard Dalibo's customers, as many of them wrote the specs :-)

Full text search in PostgreSQL is probably the most advanced one among relational DBMS. This tutorial will explain how to setup full text search configurations and dictionaries and how to build a ful text search system using an example of a simple popular science web site, with demonstration of various ranking functions. Also I will tell about new RUM index, which allows to accelerate execution of some kinds of full text queries and implements a new improved ranking function.
