This session will provide a brief overview of the RDS service, how it achieves durability & high availability and then do a deep dive into the exciting new features that we have released. We will also explore what we have learned by managing a large fleet of PostgreSQL instances including possible gotchas around pg_upgrade, advice on replication tunables, vacuum settings and shared_buffers including changes introduced with 9.5.
