Docker, PostgreSQL, Продуктив ....

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

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).

This report is about my PostgreSQL extension pg_profile. This extension all you need to create periodic statistics snapshots and to keep them. You can build a report on one or many serial snapshots. This report will contain statistics information about database workload in specified time period. It is very useful to start investigation on performance degragation or excessive resoure consumption in the past.
