Differences between Oracle DB and PostgreSQL in terms of administrating

As an experienced Oracle DBA, I've discovered some distinctive features of PostgreSQL which I'd like to share with you. We'll review a set of essential tools for DBAs, their capabilities and usefulness in comparison to their Oracle counterparts. Also I'm going to summarize the core differences between Oracle DB and PostgreSQL in terms of administrating.

Enterprise-level approach to PostgreSQL tuning: database experiments

Shared_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How can we ensure that this – pretty much outdated – recommendation suit well our needs?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:
1. comprehensive database experiments, conducted in automated fashion, repeated multiple times in conditions as close to production as possible, and
2. 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.

Practical Postgres Replication

In this tutorial we will discuss Binary and Logical replication in a practitioner format. The topics that will be included are native Postgres replication technologies, configuring and managing them. We will also discuss performance and draw backs of various architectures (sync vs async etc...). At the end of this presentation the attendees will be able to configure a basic replication deployment with HOT Standby and well as have an understanding of other technologies such as Point in Time Recovery and cascading replication.
