Less known but worthwile PostgreSQL extensions
Postgres is known for it extensibility, which made it the universal database, that means it can meet the requirements of practically any project. Many extensions are well-known and widely used, for example, PostGIS extension - de-facto standard of open source GIS, hstore - an extension for storing and manipulation of arbitrary key/value pairs. I will talk about less known but useful PostgreSQL extensions, which provides a new functionaliy and/or improve the performance of PostgreSQL.
PostgreSQL was designed to be extensible, it provides an API to application developers to extend PostgreSQL functionality and/or improve the performance for specific data and workloads. It is important that there is no need of having expertise of core developers, and these new functionality could be added online without restarting of database server. Application developer can create various database objects, such as functions, data types, operators, indexes, and even new access methods.
I will present my choice of two extensions out of hundreds:
vops - greatly improves the performance of Postgres for OLAP queries using vector operations, pg_variables - provides session variables for storing scalars and relations, useful for generating reports on read-only replicas.

Julien RouhaudHypoPG 2: Hypothetical Partitioning support for PostgreSQL
Declarative partitioning was a long-awaited feature and has been enhanced since its introduction in PostgreSQL 10. However, for many users, finding optimal partitioning schemes to have the best benefits from partitioning is not an easy task. Therefore, we added in HypoPG a new hypothetical partitioning feature which helps users to design partitioning. In this presentation, I will provide a brief introduction of HypoPG and explain declarative partitioning, and then I'll show the usage of hypothetical partitioning feature and explain how the extension is working.

Alexey Ignatov Postgres ProfessionalMigration to PostgreSQL/Postgres Pro on multi-core Bull servers. With your own hands-on experience.
To migrate to a PostgreSQL/Postgres Pro we need multi-core servers to be carefully tuned for correct parallelism. What settings make multi-terabyte installations work fast and correctly?
We will share our PostgreSQL/Postgres Pro on BullSequana S and Bullion S servers testing experience.
- The features of this hardware platform which are crucial for high-loaded configurations
- Multi-core Scale-up servers and PostgreSQL/Postgres Pro
- Results of stress testing of PostgreSQL/Postgres Pro running on the equipment.

Andrey Fefelov Mastery.proPostgres + patroni + consul + s3 + walg + ansible = Simple HA cluster
Patroni is getting art of state standard framework for building HA clusters with postgres now.
During session we will build simple 3 node cluster using mentioned stack.
We will discuss patroni's architecture, and most interesting parameters from it's configuration. We will check how actually failover works and how could you initialise cluster.
After session you will be able to built such cluster from scratch in minutes using given ansible playbooks.
