The famous Russian PostgreSQL developer Oleg Bartunov will open the conference with his report on how and why PostgreSQL has turned from an open source university project into modern industrial grade database.

Postgres monitoring with USE and RED

Brendan Gregg’s USE (Utilization, Saturation, Errors) method for monitoring is quite known. There’s also Tom Wilkie’s RED (Rate, Errors, Durations) method, which is suggested to be better suited to monitor services than USE. I want to talk about how we employ these methodologies when we develop our Postgres monitoring in okmeter.io.

Python and PostgreSQL Using psycopg2

Python may not be the fastest programming language on the CPU, but its fast and easy development saves a lot of costs between the keyboard and the chair. In this workshop we'll explore the most popular library for the access to the PostgreSQL server named "psycopg2" and write a short application using some of its useful features.
