Postgres Vision 2019

Data security has never been more important than it is today. Considering the amount of data collection most modern apps require, it’s not just imperative to keep private and proprietary safe and secure — with measures like the European Union’s GDPR, it’s also the law. For organizations running any sort of data operation, keeping databases secure from existing and emerging threats is crucial. EDB's approach to data security uses a multi-layered security architecture. Join this session to learn about how this approach is designed and implemented.

EDB Postgres Replication Server (EPRS) has been re-architected to meet growing data integration challenges and enable fast data movement to meet today’s enterprise high-availability requirements. Join this session to hear what is new.

Organizations have a choice when it comes to database platform. On the one hand, the dev platforms that cloud vendors provide are fast and loaded with tools, you don’t manage the infrastructure and only pay for what you use. On the other hand, deploying on premises can mean better control over performance, security, user experience and compliance. This session discusses making those choices – not for one app, but at enterprise scale. What should you consider? Which factors say “cloud”?  Which factors say “on premises”? And can you get a consumption-based experience either way?

There is a wave of application modernization and workload migration to cloud. Data Modernization is a very important component of this Modernization Journey. While assisting our customer, we have realized that successful Data Modernization is a combination of Art and Science; combination of right approach, methodology and tools. In this session, we will discuss how we approach a typical data modernization program, the typical nuances and learnings from our experiences.

How bad data gets into the pipeline, how developers make data bad and worse in the pipeline. This talk will look at data sources, data types, and ways Postgres can be used to abuse data. Renee Phillips brings her experience before joining the tech world, and after to discuss problems seen in many data sources. Renee's background in Medical Anthropology and work in various industries taught her the effects of bad data on decision making. Her recent experience doing QA for a startup gave her new insight into data quality issues at the source. She will talk about some of the things that a user can do or not do in PostgreSQL that might or will definitely lead to data corruption.


This talk is suitable for users of all experience levels. A version of this talk was presented at PGDay Nordic in 2019
