Pavel Luzanov PostgresProThe first training course "DBA1. PostgreSQL Administration. Basic Course" was introduced by Postgres Professional in September 2015. The course was based on the then up-to-date version of PostgreSQL 9.4. A set of new courses has been introduced since then. In turn, the PostgreSQL database didn't stand still either.
The report will present the current line of courses for administrators and application developers. We will also show the roadmap for the near future, which includes specialist certification.

Nikolay Samokhvalov Nombox LLCShared_buffers = 25% – is it too much or not enough? Or it's the right value?
How can we ensure that this – pretty much outdated – recommendation suit well our needs?
It is time to start apply enterprise-level approach to tuning postgresql.conf. Not using various blind auto-tuners or advices from old articles and blog posts, but based on the following two aspects:
- comprehensive database experiments, conducted in automated fashion, repeated multiple times in conditions as close to production as possible, and
- deep understanding of DBMS and OS internals.
Using Nancy CLI (https://gitlab.com/postgres.ai/nancy) we will consider a concrete example: infamous shared_buffers, under various circumstances, in various projects. We will try to figure out, how to optimize this settings for given infrastructure, database, and workload.

Andrey Borodin YandexI'm going to talk about emerging technologies in the area of general purpose RDBMS indexing. I will describe different approaches suitable for different workloads. We will discuss ideas from academic researches and corresponding industrial response from developers, communities, and companies. There will be the short live-coding session on creating DIY index in PostgreSQL.

Joshua Drake Command Prompt, Inc.When you are optimizing Postgres it is usually maintenance that goes by the wayside. How do we fix autovacuum? Where did all of this bloat come from? Why am I getting IO spikes? How do I get RDS to behave?! Why are commits so slow on replication? The answer to all of these questions is understanding the relationship between proper Postgres maintenance and performance. Join us for a 3 hour jaunt through the wily world of making Postgres Go!
