Иван Чувашов DBAt’s well known that pg_upgrade is the go-to tool for fast PostgreSQL upgrades. However, even with this tool, there are cases where the upgrade process takes far longer than expected.
In our case, upgrading a PostgreSQL database with 350,000 tables meant either waiting 3.5 hours or finding a better approach. By digging into the pg_upgrade source code, we discovered a way to speed up the process significantly. In this talk, we’ll share how we did it.

Павел Филин YADROFor 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.

Christopher TraversAlthough we often don't like to talk about it, database administration carries with it a large amount of stress. This is particularly true when we have to take on late night support duties. In this talk you will learn: 1. The basics of the physiology of stress. This is not a physiology lecture, but as engineers we need enough to build a mental model. 2. What kinds of mistakes we make when under stress. 3. How to measure stress in your own life and recognize it in others. 4. What tools are helpful to manage short- and long-term stressors. Managing short-term stress is important in avoiding becoming overwhelmed when problems occur, but managing longer-term stressors is just as important in avoiding problems in the first place.
