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.

Liquibase is a very convenient tool for sequential database migration, used both on our projects and in a large number of other projects and frameworks. It allows you to keep the code of the database together with the application code in VSC, track the attempts of repeated migrations and much, much more. But sooner or later the project grows, the data occupy terabytes, and liquibase still rolls the migration sequentially.

We could not afford to deploy migrations for 100 hours and came up with a framework for liquibase that expanded its capabilities and allowed to execute a whole series of scripts in parallel or to split one large migration into small partitions and migrate them in parallel.

Azure Database for PostgreSQL is a managed database service built for developers using the community PostgreSQL database technology you love.

Patroni is a Python application to create high-availability PostgreSQL clusters based on the streaming replication. It is used by Red Hat, IBM Compose, Zalando and many other companies. This tutorial will highlight Patroni architecture, provide attendees with hands-on experience of configuring high-availability PostgreSQL clusters with Patroni, describe how to take advantage of numerous additional features and give an opportunity to learn more about common mistakes related to running Patroni and its troubleshooting.

In order to take most out of the Patroni tutorial one needs a laptop with git, vagrant and virtual box installed.

Vagrant can be obtained from https://www.vagrantup.com Virtualbox is at https://www.vagrantup.com

Alternatively, one can install your Linux distribution packages (or use homebrew on Mac).

Once Vagrant and Virtualbox are installed one can run the Patroni VM by issuing the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/alexeyklyukin/patroni-training
$ cd patroni-training
$ vagrant up

When the setup concludes Patroni box can be accessed via ssh using vagrant ssh command.
