PGConf.Russia 2018

In the last six months I have been working with a massive OLAP environment with 20TB shards, spanning around 400TB of data. Come to listen to how we make it all work, the challenges, and the skills involved. This talk has very little in common with the 10TB and Beyond talk because the data environments are very different.

We will cover analytics performance, data alignment, reasons for building extensions in C, and moving data around between servers in multiple data centers.

The presentation describes crypto-related parameters of PostgreSQL configuration (both authentication and TLS-protection of the connection to DB) and what do they mean

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.
