200 bases, several clusters, several terabytes of data Share our experience setting up and using patroni cluster DBMS Cluster on Linux, 1C server for windows. We use: PostgreSQL assembly for 1C, Patroni, Consul, Consul dns, Commvault, Ansible Vagrant file and Ansible playbook with roles attached.

PostgreSQL 13 Feature Freeze is scheduled for April 2020. Two more commitfests are still accepting new patches. What we can say about PostgreSQL 13. It's possible that rotation rule will work so that new release wouldn't have as many new features as PostgreSQL 12 have. If even it is do, that would be good evolutionary release with a lot of medium feature and infrastructure changes, which prepares postgres for new leap. In this talk I will overview expected novelties in PostgreSQL 13. It would be more or less accurate, since there would be only one commitfest left, which results are possible to forecast.

A brief story how MySQL → PG migration could increase company efficiency tenfold times:

1. Program code has been reduced 50 times, with optimization of backend team (from 15 to 3 engineers)
2. Software development of new features has become measuring in days, not in months
3. Infrastructure costs per 1M users have been reduced 20 times
4. Database structure and technical documentation were simplified significantly, from 100K high-dependent tables to just 20 simple tables
5. New security level because of total forbidden on external SQL commands to the database
6. Quick analytics aggregation on multiple parameters, without external analytics systems
7. The last, but not the least: the main business was keeping alive during migration
