A story about practical approaches and tools for automating migration using 2 examples: a database with a structure change in the new version and a database with a significant content of the application's business logic.

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.

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.

In this brief overview presentation we will discuss Postgres Pro Enterprise Manager (PPEM) capabilities, and how it helps DBAs to be more productive.
