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.

This tutorial shows how to properly monitor PostgreSQL. We will discuss the mamonsu utility, see how to configure it, examine its hidden features and learn how to extend them.

Nowadays one can make a decent urban research based simply on public datasets, making interesting and unexpected insights. In the presentation, I'll show examples of these calculations in PostGIS, the industry standard de-facto.

But just PostGIS is not enough. You need tools to import, verify and visualize the data. It's critically important to visualize the data live, to debug your calculations and shorten iterations. I'll describe all these steps:

1. Collecting the data: public API, OpenStreetMap; direct user input.
2. 3rd party APIs for calculations.
3. Visualization of GIS and other sorts of data: QGIS, Matplotlib, Zeppelin integrated with PostGIS.
4. Debugging the calculations: live visualization (Arc, QGIS, NextGIS Web)
5. Scripting and minimizing the chores: Makefile, Gulp
