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 myths and misconceptions of software import substitution. The acute threat of non-working DBMS servers. The basic plans for import substitution and problems of the transition period. DBMS data protection and the image of an ideal protection system. Crypto BD is the cryptographic data protection system. How does it work?

Replication is one of the important mechanisms designed to provide database fault tolerance and scalability. In our practice, we regularly encounter the problem of low replication performance. This prompted us to investigate the factors that affect the speed of physical replication. In this presentation, I will talk about our findings. I will also demonstrate the differences in replication performance for various versions of PostgreSQL.

SPQR is a lightweight OLTP sharding solution written in Go. In this talk, I'm going to discuss design decisions that led us through FDW-based sharding, CustomNode-based sharding, C-implemented lightweight query routing, and finally to SPQR design.
