PGConf.Russia 2018

PostGIS is well known and widely used since two decades, as the best OpenSource database solution for Spatial Analysis. This talk will focus on: spatial and advanced spatial analysis with pure PostGIS (including cutting edge PostGIS functions available); how to go further throught GeoDataScience, with Python libs and framework tied with PostgreSQL/PostGIS (including Machine and DeepLearning)

In this talk I will share the experience of migration, NoSQL data to a relational view convert, and tell you how we managed to speed up the application in 2 times.

Initially, we used PosgtgreSQL and MongoDB to store all the data. In practice, we found out that the separation is extremely inconvenient. We spent a lot of time and attention on it.

My talk will describe how we moved the data from MongoDB to PostgreSQL using mosql. As a result, all the data can be received by one query now, and the table schema ensures data consistency.

Tutorial on Full Text Seach in PostgreSQL, containing all recent improvemets. All recipies necessary for building an application will be given: dictionary and parser configuration, faceted search, fuzzy search, multilanguage search, ranking etc. Participants will be provided with a test database for exercises.

In this talk, I will tell you the story of how a bunch of sysadmins got sick of having to resuscitate their petabyte-sized Elasticsearch cluster and decided to replace it with some tried technologies: PostgreSQL, Kafka, a bit of Redis, lots of glue, and the typical sysadmin stubbornness. The result is Bagger: the sysadmin answer to Big Data. A fast, fairly reliable, fault-tolerant store, used mostly for logging timestamped events for some amount of time. Bagger is named the Bagger series of bucket-wheel excavators, feats of German engineering and some of the largest land vehicles ever produced by man. Just like the excavators that dig through tons of material, our Bagger digs through tons data.
