Harnessing the Power of pgTAP in the Large
Presented by:

Michael Glaesemann
Michael Glaesemann was hired as the first full-time DBA at MeetMe (then myYearbook). While there, he was been a part of growing the database infrastructure from one Postgres instance to over 30, supporting an active social networking site reaching over 1 million active users per day and top-10 grossing social networking apps on both iOS and Android platforms in the US.

Testing database schema and deploying schema changes is a challenge and still-developing art. At MeetMe, managing this across 30-odd Postgres instances in a systematic way utilizing open source tools has lead to the MeetMe Postgres Harness. Along with gerrit and Jenkins, the MeetMe database team has created a workflow that allows them to develop database schema concurrently with pgTAP testing, code coverage, and code review.
