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.

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.

During the years of its existence, Postgres Pro piled up a pool of problems when query execution was inappropriately slow or a query was too expensive to be executed, so it was never executed. Almost always in our practice, this was due to the choice of a non-optimal query plan. In our story, we will talk about a very unconventional attempt to solve this problem by re-planning queries. We will tell you what it is, how it works, who will find it helpful and the prospects for using this feature.

We will present adaptive query optimization techniques and key capabilities of the new version of AQO and SR_PLAN extensions.
