Many developers often face performance issues in the systems they develop. One common solution for optimizing slow business processes is parallelization. But what do you do if the bottleneck is the data insertion into the database, which needs to maintain atomicity?

In this talk, I’ll explain how to speed up data insertion by parallelizing the process in Spring, while ensuring the atomicity of the entire operation. We'll cover batch updates in Spring and PostgreSQL, discuss why updates are heavy operations, and explore ways to speed up the process in the current tech stack. Additionally, I will present other approaches to maintaining atomicity and demonstrate their differences in benchmarks.

This will be useful for practicing engineers.

Greenmask is an open-source utility for database anonymization and synthetic data generation. A common challenge in development is creating test environments that closely resemble production. In this talk, we will explore how to use Greenmask’s features to prepare a test environment with ease. 

We will discuss its architecture, database subsets, types of transformations, the reasons for integrating with the PostgreSQL driver, and porting some pg libraries. Additionally, we will explain how our technology helps businesses solve problems faster, more efficiently, and securely.

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.

This talk will explore different approaches to storing files in PostgreSQL, including:

• Simple table-based storage

• Large objects with pg_largeobject

• pgpro_sfile – a large object (pgpro_bfile) storage solution
