Ekaterina Sokolova PostgresProSo much has been said about PostgreSQL as the result of its program code. But Postgres is not just code. It’s the people who create it, develop it, and... leave a piece of themselves through comments.
What stories can we uncover from the comments in PostgreSQL’s code? We’ll discover what the most popular word is, which comments have been in the code since the very first public commit, how the style of communication has evolved with the product, and how we can see the human side behind the lines of code and comments.

Александр Буров ИнверсияAs part of the import substitution process, we encountered the need to find a reliable alternative to Oracle. PostgreSQL was considered the primary candidate for replacement, but during the research, the "vanilla" version revealed a number of critical limitations that hindered a successful transition.
These issues included support for autonomous transactions, batch variables, and several other specifics. What is special about pg_settings? Why do we need autonomous transactions, and how do HOLD cursors relate to this? These and other topics will be discussed in our presentation, where we will also share our experience of implementing Postgres Pro Enterprise.

Александр Овчинников ФКУ "Налог-Сервис"Diagnostic Methods: Analyzing the Issue of Long CREATE DATABASE Execution
This talk covers two cases of long CREATE DATABASE execution in PostgreSQL 11, which, in a Corosync/Pacemaker cluster configuration, caused node failover due to a monitoring timeout from the clustering software. The first case is related to a large shared buffers size, while the second involves the use of the WITH OWNER option during database creation and a large pg_shdepend system table (a feature of using the jBPM software).

Роман КатунцевWhat 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
