Pacific Crest Trail: The postgresql.conf from A-Z
Presented by:
Joshua D. Drake
Joshua (JD) is a long time Open Source advocate and entrepreneur dating back to the early days of Professional Open Source. From the valleys of Usenet he sold custom Linux servers with a whopping 16 MB of ram and 1GB SCSI drives. These were the days of SLS and many, many floppy disks. Through the years he has help found multiple Internet Service Providers as well as eventually launching his own firm, Command Prompt, Inc.. Command Prompt has over the years become one of the predominant privately owned PostgreSQL support and Consulting firms.
An avid public speaker and writer, he is also the founder of United States PostgreSQL, PgConf (PostgresConf) and More than a Refresh: A podcast about the most interesting people you haven't met. He currently resides off-grid in Montana.
He divides his time between Command Prompt, off-grid projects, mentoring/leadership roles and helping those who wish to become successful, define what that means for them.
No video of the event yet, sorry!
Everybody uses it, almost nobody knows what each parameter means. Just like the Pacific Crest Trail, most people have heard of it but few people have taken the 3-4 months to seek inner peace and understanding by hiking this gorgeous section of the United States. Let's take a 3-4 hour hike and explore the postgresql.conf. We will cover the desert of memory settings, to the mountains of the background writer and autovacuum. We will walk the Sierras of random_page_cost and experience the sunsets of effective_cache_size. From A-Z, you will walk away from this training with a firm understanding of the postgresql.conf.
