Troubleshooting PostgreSQL Streaming Replication
Streaming replication has been introduced in 2010 and quickly became one of the most popular features of PostgreSQL. Today, it is hard to imagine PostgreSQL installation without streaming replication. With its stability, high efficiency and ease of configuration one would have thought it is an optimal feature. However, while using it you might sometimes enter murky waters. This often can be resolved by using a combination of built-in and third party troubleshooting tools. In my talk I will provide an overview of these tools and explain how with their help one can diagnose, understand and eliminate problems related to streaming replication. I will also go through the most frequent issues occurring when streaming replication is used and will propose possible solutions. This talk is primarily aimed at DBAs and system administrators who use PostgreSQL in their day-to-day.

Egor Rogov Postgres ProfessionalProBackup: fast, reliable, and incremental
Modern state of backup tools for PostgreSQL certainly leaves some room for improvements. Standard utilities provides only basic functionality, third-party tools solve some, but not all, problems. To take backups reliably, fast, and incrementally on page level, one needs not only a backup tool, but also some support from the database server. On this tutorial we will talk about our new backup and recovery manager ProBackup, and will show it in action.

Dmitry Lebedev BestPlaceResearching GIS data with PostGIS and adjacent toolset
Nowadays one can make a decent urban research based simply on public datasets, making interesting and unexpected insights. In the presentation, I'll show examples of these calculations in PostGIS, the industry standard de-facto.
But just PostGIS is not enough. You need tools to import, verify and visualize the data. It's critically important to visualize the data live, to debug your calculations and shorten iterations. I'll describe all these steps:
- Collecting the data: public API, OpenStreetMap; direct user input.
- 3rd party APIs for calculations.
- Visualization of GIS and other sorts of data: QGIS, Matplotlib, Zeppelin integrated with PostGIS.
- Debugging the calculations: live visualization (Arc, QGIS, NextGIS Web)
- Scripting and minimizing the chores: Makefile, Gulp

Markus Nullmeier University of HeidelbergAccelerating queries of set data types with GIN, GiST, and custom indexing extensions
Sets are apparently a useful data type for many kinds of applications. While PostgreSQL offers no built-in set data type, sets may be emulated to some degree with its built-in array and JSONB data types. Also, acceleration of respective containment (subset) queries is readily available as a built-in feature of the GIN index type.
Starting with the above, we will then explore the performance gains enabled by custom set data types, and especially by customisation code in C ("operator classes") for the GIN and GiST index types.
