PGConf.SPB 2023

Postgres Pro Enterprise is based on open source PostgreSQL. However, the difference is significant: the current version of Postgres Pro Enterprise has 40 more features that are not a part of PostgreSQL. 20 more mechanisms are being developed either as built-in features or separate products. This includes BiHA, DBaaS, pg_probackup, etc. In this presentation, we'll briefly discuss some of them.

Hardening is the process of strengthening the security of a system in order to reduce risks from possible threats. In my presentation, I will tell you how to protect service cluster communications using TLS connections, in order to avoid accidental or unauthorized access to Patroni's REST API and ETCD storage.

Facing the restrictions on the use of Western software, our bank has developed and put into commercial operation a reliable mechanism for data replication between two DBMSs. This mechanism allowed the bank's teams without any special restrictions to replace the product from Oracle (Oracle Golden Gate was previously used in the bank for a long time). In the presentation, we will talk about the main advantages of our software and the nuances of its use.

I have been working with 1C on PostgreSQL for 6 years, and the DBMS has changed significantly since I started. In this presentation, I'm going to cover the progress it has made. The users will, just as always, claim that this is not enough. So in addition to milestones and achievements, I'll tackle the possible feature requests from the maintenance viewpoint and explain some workarounds.
