Distributed Point-In-Time Recovery with Postgres

Postgres has a nice feature called Point-in-time Recovery (PITR) that would allow you to go back in time. In this talk, we will discuss what are the use-cases of PITR, how to prepare your database for PITR by setting good base backup and WAL shipping setups, with some examples. We will expand the discussion with how to achieve PITR if you have a distributed and sharded Postgres setup by mentioning challenges such as clock differences and ways to overcome them, such as two-phase commit and pg_create_restore_point.

Let's turn off the vacuum?!

When one faces the issues with PostgreSQL, the main suspicion falls on vacuum. Experience of Data Egret team proves how many DBAs are attacking this rake. While there are tons of information, documentation and discussions on vacuum itself, the topic is still associated with a lot of myths, tales, horror stories and misconceptions. In my talk I will try to reveal the key points concerning the inner structure of vacuum, basic approaches to its adjustment and tuning, performance monitoring, and so on.

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.

Docker, PostgreSQL, Production ....

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
