Mamonsu is an active monitoring agent for PostgreSQL based on Zabbix. Mamonsu 3.0 Major Update includes new metrics and more possibilities for data visualization via Zabbix screens. It also introduces the improved functionality of Mamonsu tools for interacting with the DBMS. In addition to the new functionality overview, I will also share the nuances of upgrading to the 3.0 version.

Throughout the release cycle of version 14, I had the opportunity to describe the accepted patches in articles dedicated to each of the five release commitfests. The first two articles on Postgres 15 also have some remarks on PostgreSQL 14. If you have read them, you can skip my presentation :-)). On September 30, 2021, PostgreSQL 14 was officially released. Nothing will change in this major release, so it's the right time for a final overview. However, presenting each and every new feature in a 45-min. talk isn't possible. That's why I will be sharing with you my personal top of version 14 innovations.

Crew Resource Management is a field which has become critical in many fields including aviation and nuclear power. However in IT, this field has not been well implemented. In this talk we will discuss what crew resource management is, what kinds of problems it solves, and why all database teams should implement it.

Several PostgreSQL-related case studies will be discussed and both technical and human factors will be part of the case studies.

PostgreSQL protocol compression has been discussed in the community for a long time. Many different hypotheses have been expressed and tested, and the compression patch has received a large number of changes and improvements. I will review the various approaches tested during the implementation of protocol compression, and will highlight the current status.
