PGConf.Russia 2025

There are many administrator consoles out there, ranging from the old-school DBeaver to the ubiquitous pgAdmin. However, we decided to create another one. Why?

In this talk, you’ll learn:

• How can a single installation manage tens of thousands of database instances.

• How many users can the console support.

• How can you inventory your infrastructure without losing your sanity.

• How do you integrate into an existing environment without starting from scratch.

• How to build a security model that earns the trust of leading banks and telecom operators.

• How can you get hands-on experience with all of this.

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.

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.

In this talk, we will discuss what character encodings and collations are. I will explain the issues that can arise from sorting (COLLATION) in databases and show how these problems can be addressed using the COLLATION PROVIDER = ICU feature in PostgreSQL.
