PGConf.SPB 2023

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.

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

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.

Backup is still a stumbling block when migrating to PostgreSQL from other DBMSs. Its size directly depends on your experience and knowledge about the types of backups in PostgreSQL. In this talk, I will tell you about different types of backups, their pros and cons, and scenarios for using each type.
