Json in Postgres - the Roadmap

JSONB in PostgreSQL is one of the main attractive feature for modern
application developers, no matter what some RDBMS purists are thinking.
People often use simple one-column-json schema for their projects and rely
on ability of database to store,index and query json. Postgres has long
history of supporting the non-structured data and has pioneered the
adoption of JSON by relational databases, so eventually JSON became and
official feature (SQL/JSON) of SQL standard.

Apache AGE and the synergy effect in the combination of Postgres and NoSQL

In this session, we will introduce the concept of Apache AGE and the synergy effect in the combination of Postgres and NoSQL (Graph Database). We shall discuss the story and background of Apache AGE as an open-source project and introduce challenges that AGE can solve for its users. Furthermore, we will talk about a graph database as an extension to PostgreSQL and how it can support all the functionalities and features of PostgreSQL and offers a graph model in addition. We will also discuss how users with a relational background and data model who are in need of having a graph model on top of their existing relational model, can use this extension with minimal effort because they can use existing data without migration to enable a graph database.

NORM: No ORM Framework

It's a well-known fact, that although the database performance is great, and each query is executed in milliseconds, the overall application response time maybe slow, making the users wait for response for an extended periods of time. We know that the problem is not the database, but the way the application developers communicate with the database. Specifically, we are talking about ORMs - Object-Relational Mappers. Database developers hate them, but application developers love them, because they allow to develop applications without any knowledge of database internals. As a result, the system performance is often unacceptably slow.

The only way to change this behavior is to provide application developers with a tool, which is as easy to use, as an ORM, but which will allow to escape the common ORM pitfalls. That's why we developed NORM - No-ORM Framework. During this presentation, we will go over examples of code from https://github.com/hettie-d/NORM repo and learn how to build "transport objects" for efficient data transfer between applications and databases.

Does Anyone Really Need RAC?

One of the main reasons we hear for not being able to migrate from Oracle to PostgreSQL is the fact that “We absolutely, definitively must have RAC”. Despite its cost and complexity, RAC is widely used in response to a variety of (real or imagined) performance, high availability and/or scalability requirements. PostgreSQL does not have an equivalent to RAC. But does anyone really need it?

This talk investigates whether or not RAC is actually required in most situations and looks at the alternatives that are available to us in PostgreSQL.

Postgres Architectures in Production

When using PostgreSQL in production it is important to implement a strategy for High Availability. With a database service, the HA properties apply to both the service itself and of course to the data set.

In this talk we learn how to think about specific HA needs of your production environment and how to achieve your requirements with Open Source tooling when it comes to your database of choice, PostgreSQL. In particular, we dive in many options that could be implemented for Postgres to evolve its offering from being a toolset to being “batteries included”. What does it mean in the context of HA? How to achieve it?

OLTP+OLAP=HTAP

Traditionally database systems were optimized either for OLAP either for OLTP workloads. Such mainstream DBMSes like Postgres,MySQL,... are mostly used for OLTP, while Greenplum, Vertica, Clickhouse, SparkSQL,... are oriented on analytic queries. But right now many companies do not want to have two different data stores for OLAP/OLTP and need to perform analytic queries on most recent data. I want to discuss which features should be added to Postgres to efficiently handle HTAP workload.

Using Supergraph a GraphQL to SQL compiler to quickly build apps on Postgres

In 2015, Facebook introduced GraphQL, a front-end query framework designed to shield users from the intricacies of the various backends one would find in modern data stacks. As with ORMs before then, most backend code ended up being databases, adding layers of abstraction that ended up being inefficient and required immense investments to scale out for performance. Additionally most app developers are not very familiar with SQL and go to great lengths to avoid learning it. This has created several problems like n+1 queries, inefficient queries, minimal use of database features, etc. While Postgres is growing in popularity with this audience the large majority of advanced features like JSON support, Recursive CTE’s, Window functions are never used. Often developers are unfamiliar with even simple features like the various types of JOINS and choose inefficient solutions like multiple queries instead.
