    What does a modern application developer need to transition from familiar cloud-based solutions to SQL databases?

    This talk is a practical report on how we transformed an SQL database into a NoSQL-like solution with a developer-friendly interface. We’ll discuss:

    What application developers expect from a data framework

    How to implement declarative DDL, access control, and automation for reading and writing data

    Simplified DML operations, pagination, and other essential features for application development

    Many Russian companies are striving to establish themselves in the relational database market by developing their own commercial solutions, often based on forks of vanilla PostgreSQL. But beyond the database itself, customers also need a graphical management tool — Enterprise Manager. Since forking it is extremely challenging, vendors often have to build their own from scratch while considering competitive solutions.

    This talk will explore Enterprise Managers from various Russian database vendors, comparing their key features — functionality, usability, and design — to identify which one stands out as the most effective.

    Where I used to work, we had pushed ElasticSearch to its breaking point. We needed an even more scalable replacement for a write-heavy, read-seldom workload. So we built one on PostgreSQL. Now, many of us are building the successor as an open source project. 

    This talk goes over the design of Bagger (named after the giant mining machines), which can manage logs into tens or hundreds of petabytes. More than just a review of the architecture, this talk focuses on the whys and the tradeoffs made in the design. 

    The talk is intended both to showcase how programmable and powerful PostgreSQL is, but also illustrate the fundamental tradeoffs which must be faced when pushing any technology into the big data space.

    The execution time of SQL queries depends on factors like indexes and up-to-date statistics. In most cases, optimizing slow queries helps resolve database performance issues.

    But what if classic query optimization doesn’t work? What if the system keeps behaving unpredictably — or worse, crashes, leading to frustration, panic, and even despair?

    In this talk, we’ll explore how Postgres Professional’s performance engineers tackle these challenges, look at the tools they use, what’s still missing, and where PostgreSQL performance optimization is headed
