Craig Kerstiens heads up the Cloud team at @citusdata. Citus extends Postgres to be a horizontally scalable distributed database. Previously, Craig spent a number of years @heroku, a Platform-as-a-service, which takes much of the overhead out of IT from keeping the lights on and lets developers focus on building features and adding value. Craig is originally from the South, specifically Alabama, but is now fairly close to a local of the San Francisco Bay area. Craig also curates Postgres Weekly, a weekly email newsletter with Postgres content and is a regular speaker at technology conferences.
