    Peter Celentano Tracy Jenkins PostgreSQL architecture considerations for application developers at Postgres Conference 2024
    Why should developers care about PostgreSQL internals?

    presented by Tracy Jenkins and Peter Celentano

    Although the application layer is the portion the world accesses for many cloud architectures, it seems that we rarely consider how we can optimize our application for the database we’re using. When using any relational database engine, it’s important to consider not just schema design, but understanding how databases read and write data to their storage systems to ensure the application is man...

With the rise of cloud computing and managed database instances, job scheduling has gotten slightly more complicated then running a simple PSQL script on our database server, and connecting through a Unix socket. While the simplest methods of running scheduled database job...

    Make monitoring great again!

    presented by Peter Celentano

    Regardless of where they're hosted, knowing what your database is doing at all times is a necessary component in a solid infrastructure. Grafana and TimescaldDB form the foundation of a monitoring stack which can be built and scaled to monitor nearly any production environment. While solutions such as Zabbix and Nagios allow for similar solutions, they are often cumbersome to navigate, need con...
