PGConf.Russia 2025

The issue of slow month-end closing and cost calculation on PostgreSQL has been a long-standing problem. In this talk, we will explore what modern versions of PostgreSQL offer in this regard and answer the question, "Do replicas slow down the master?"

We will also take a look at different types of physical replication and, for dessert, share a recipe for quick and painless month-end closing in 1C without affecting the daily operations of users.

For DBAs, ensuring database protection and integrity is always a top priority. Along with that comes the need to store data efficiently and compactly, without overloading the network, and ensuring reliable recovery.

In this talk, we’ll discuss a universal solution for backup and archive storage that not only offers effective deduplication but also minimizes network load. TATLIN.BACKUP is a platform for storing PostgreSQL backups or WAL archives with compression, deduplication, and minimal data transmission over the network.

TATLIN.BACKUP is a versatile solution for transferring and storing PostgreSQL archives at remote locations from a central office.

Over the past year, pgpro_redefinition has undergone significant enhancements. In this talk, we’ll review the key updates, improvements, and new capabilities that have been introduced.

Every day, thousands of engineers work tirelessly to make data more accurate, reliable, and up-to-date. But sometimes, we need to do the exact opposite—corrupt it.

Whether it’s masking or replacing sensitive information, or even generating entirely new datasets while preserving key business properties, data obfuscation is a crucial task. It’s essential for testing systems, sharing data with third parties, and more. However, given the complexity of data schemas and business logic, this is far from trivial.

In this talk, we’ll explore the challenges of working with artificial data and discuss various approaches to solving them using PostgreSQL’s built-in features and external extensions.
