Продвинутый анализ пространственных данных с помощью PostgreSQL, PostGIS и Python

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)

Modern PostgreSQL High Availability

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.

Pluggable storages is hot subject in PostgreSQL development. The period of heated debates about whether we need them is over. Skepticism about pluggable storages, based on concern that they may be source of inconsistent behavior, was weakened after criticism of PostgreSQL MVCC implementation from Uber side. It became widely understandable that pluggable storages are needed at least for an alternative MVCC implementation. And that is one of way-points for pluggable storages interface design.

At the moment, work on pluggable storages is in the practical stage. There is a thread is pgsql-hackers where few people are developing patchset and several people are doing review.

This talk will cover following subjects:

• overview of pluggable storages interface;
• changes in PostgreSQL core required to implement this interface;
• current and potential implementations of pluggable storages including heap with undo-log and in-memory OLTP engine;
• current state of patchset and prospective of its commit
• further development of interface allowing more possibilities in pluggable storages (columnar, index-organized, LSM and so on).

Pgpro_scheduler и криптовалютные транзакции

Apart from its main purpose of scheduling tasks, pgpro_scheduler can also deal with chained transactions. It can be used in various scenarios of asynchronous data processing.

This tutorial demonstrates pgpro_scheduler features that ensure secure processing of chained transactions. We'll be using cryptocurrency transactions as an example.

pgpro_scheduler is included into Postgres Pro Enterprise as an extension.
