Usage of temporary tables in PostgreSQL causes additional issues like high server resources consumption and low query performance. However, sometimes you need to rely on them especially when you need to migrate your code from MS SQL, and your initial code employed them, and you had some logic implemented at the database level. This talk covers issues related to usage of temporary tables when migrating from MS SQL, and the ways to resolve them using built-in PostgreSQL features based on the scenarios contained in the code.

A cloud provider operates with lots of hardware resources and network entities. It's one thing when a company runs dozens of Postgres Pro instances in an isolated loop for internal tasks. And it’s quite a different story when a cloud provider renders services to B2B users and maintains solutions for 500+ large companies.

Vitaliy will tell how the VK Cloud Solutions cloud provider currently employs Managed Postgres Pro. He will also demonstrate the solution's architecture and cover the challenges faced while creating the Postgres Pro solution in our cloud.

The release cycle for version 15 is nearing completion. At the time of the presentation, the complete list of changes will not be known. But for sure there will be something to talk about.

A book. Typically a reader sees only the final product, printed on paper or opened on a computer screen. In this talk I invite you to take a look at the dark side of my recently published “PostgreSQL Internals” book. Come if you are curious why the author would want to write scripts, modify the PostgreSQL source code, and program pictures.
