PGConf.Russia 2018

It’s 3am. Your phone rings. PostgreSQL is down, you need to promote a replica to master. Why the h**l isn’t this automatic?

If you thought of this before, you want automatic High Availability (HA). Don’t miss this talk! We will enter the world of Modern PostgreSQL HA.

Good news, there are several new, “modern” solutions for PostgreSQL HA. However, there are several solutions and it's not easy to pick one. Most require non-trivial setups, and there are many small caveats about HA like how to provide entry points to the application, HA correctness, HA vs. read scaling, external dependencies, interaction with cloud environments, and so forth.

Join this talk to master PostgreSQL HA and how to deploy it on current times.

I would like to share experience in runing PostgreSQL in dockerized environments, describe the specific issues and tools you will need to solve them.

• Which problems could be solved by Docker for PostgreSQL, e.g. PostgreSQLPro.9.6
• Work of IT team with Docker in development, testing and production environments
  • Using image repository and build servers for image testing
• Issues in production environment:
  • With network activity
  • With persistent repositories for Docker
  • With additional services
  • With load balancing and fail-safety
• Running PostgreSQL-base applications, such as:
  • SonarQube
  • Gitlab
  • 1С platform

DBeaver is the Universal Databases Manager. We creating DBeaver using Open Source Software model. We pay special attention to the PotgreSQL because of its capabilities, popularity and OSS nature. We will talk about DBeaver evolution and structure, will demonstrate the basic functionality. We are going to cover challenges of PostgreSQL client creation. Also we will discuss requirements management model and interaction with the PostgreSQL community. We will show in details how to debug the PL/pgSQL stored procedures interactively. We are going to introduce some new features of the nearest DBeaver release and to share our plans.
