Обеспечение доверия к системному ПО на примере ОС Astra Linux

The development of secure system software (like an operating system or a DBMS) and ensuring trust in it are complicated scientific and technical tasks. In our presentation, we will demonstrate how we resolved these tasks for the Astra Linux OS certified to comply with the highest security classes. We will discuss the key directions of our activities, from the formation of national standards to the development and verification of the formal access model, which is the basis for the attack surface protection mechanism on the OS's level. We will also share how we apply the methods and technologies of dynamic and static analysis of the program code and, finally, we will explain how we collect and analyze the data we get from analyzing the OS code. We will also discuss how to fix the code errors in the project with continuous integration.

Детали реализации CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY

From the very beginning of 2021, I'm fixing a bug in CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY. This bug manifests extremely seldom. I could not find any traces of it in mailing lists ever since the introduction of the feature in 8.2. Yet the bug affected our systems, so I decided to fix it. This is how the9i detective bug-hunting story started. In this story, I'll share details of the implementation of transactions and lock mechanics.

Почему методика Crew Resource Management должна применяться в СУБД-командах?

Crew Resource Management is a field which has become critical in many fields including aviation and nuclear power. However in IT, this field has not been well implemented. In this talk we will discuss what crew resource management is, what kinds of problems it solves, and why all database teams should implement it.

Several PostgreSQL-related case studies will be discussed and both technical and human factors will be part of the case studies.

Как ускорить загрузку данных в 10 000 раз?

What can be more important in the data load process than speed? Data migration is one of the most requested features in DBeaver. So the performance issue was highly important for us, in regard to PostgreSQL, as well as Greenplum, Redshift and other Postgres-based databases. We are ready to share our tiny secrets about 10x, 100x, 1000x, and even 10,000x performance improvements for data imports without any magic.
