PostgreSQL vs Redis: Making the Right Choice

With the rise of NoSQL databases, a number of falsehoods have flourished regarding how to choose a database engine. This talk focuses specifically on Redis and PostgreSQL, and why one might choose one or the other.

At small scales, we can often get by thinking of database servers as black boxes, but as we scale, the internals and architecture become more and more important. This talk focuses on behavior of these systems at scale and under load.

In this presentation you will learn:

  • How Redis and PostgreSQL differ architecturally
  • How differences in architecture affect scalability and performance
  • Cases here Redis is the clear winner
  • Cases where PostgreSQL is the clear winner

Additionally, some notes will be offered in terms of where PostgreSQL can improve in to compete with the sorts of workloads that generally favor Redis.

    New UUID versions

    Primary key generation is a known issue quite efficiently though not ideally solved by sequences. There are still problems with distributed generation, real uniqueness and predictability. Initially, UUID was not intended for use as a DBMS key, but its new versions (6, 7 and 8) make it quite convenient to use them as both synthetic and natural keys.

    Hello, native multimaster? Comparison bidirectional replication and Postgres Pro Multimaster

    Since PostgreSQL 9.5 logical replication has replication origin infrastructure for replication progress tracking. Now 16th version is coming with feature which made bi-directional replication setups possible using said infrastructure. In earliest reviews it got a nickname of "native multimaster" for cluster, interconnected with said replication, bearing some resemblance to PostgresPro's Multimaster. We're going to figure out degree of it and explain insides of them. Talk expects you to have a basic knowledge of WAL insides and it's role in PostgreSQL functioning.

    Heterogeneous distributed system - as a way to safely migrate from MSSQL Server to PostgreSQL, as well as reduce sanctions risks

    This report is primarily intended for companies, specifically their IT departments, that are running Russian systems 1C 8.x and have the ability to work with both MSSQL Server and PostgreSQL. We live in a unique time when having a heterogeneous IT system (a system with a distributed architecture where each database instance runs under different databases and/or has a different data structure) is justified both economically and in terms of potential risks. On the one hand, we store data and use databases with predictable behavior and open source code, regardless of the political situation. On the other hand, with this approach, we take advantage of all the benefits (primarily performance) of a powerful database supported by the largest vendor, albeit a hostile state to us. Now is the time to assess risks with the necessary level of paranoia. After all, data can be corrupted not only at the level of storage logic, but also by the method of additional "hidden" calls of Delete/Update constructs at the engine level of the database. Therefore, it is now relevant not only to monitor the performance of the IT system, but also to audit data and their timely integrity. It is necessary to implement data verification procedures, it is necessary to implement procedures for closing periods, procedures for fault-tolerant storage. And accordingly, to provide for various threat models in data recovery procedures. The report presents options for countering such threats and scenarios for the most seamless transition of large databases to PostgreSQL, since it is precisely for such databases that the problem of translating to a new DBMS is particularly acute.

    Experience of migration a highly loaded system from DB2 for z/OS to PostgresPro in multimaster configuration

    The developer shares his experience of migration a highly loaded system in the field of railway transport from IBM DB2 for z/OS to PostgresPro in a multimaster configuration. The main focus is on the nuances of working with a cluster operating in multimaster mode, what problems had to be faced and how to solve them.
