PGConf.SPB 2023

We'll talk about the tool we created, which monitors changes in the database and creates scripts for migrations of selected objects both interactively and automatically.

In modern data analysis, machine learning models are used as often as databases. Such IT giants as Google and Amazon have already combined them. Microsoft and Yandex are not far behind. Isn't it time to implement a machine learning model in PostgreSQL? In the report you will hear about the basics of machine learning, its implementation in databases and an example of realization as postres extension.

Traditionally, fault tolerance in Postgres is implemented using built-in replication mechanisms and external utilities that monitor the state of running Postgres instances and react accordingly when various failures occur. In this presentation, I will tell you what we like and what we don’t like about this approach, which alternative we see, what we have been able to achieve to date and what we want to get done by the time of release, which is planned for December.

As you probably know, PostgreSQL has a number of distinct features compared to other DBMSs. For example, Postgres can process and store many different types of data. However, you need to know something about them before using them. In this talk, we will find the reason why queries to the table begin to slow down (and autovacuum / vacuum has nothing to do with it) and try to speed up such queries. I will tell you how integer data types work in PostgreSQL and touch on the topic of speeding up such queries. And finally, let's talk about how to make your data in tables take up less space while increasing the speed of queries to this data.
