• PostSQL - using PostgreSQL as a better NoSQL

  A short overview how PostgreSQL can be used for tasks that are currently often delegated to heterogeneous bunch of data storage solutions referred to by common name NoSQL. Covered topics from traditional NoSQL area are:

  • developer friendlyness, even for sloppy developers
  • scalability
  • easy extensibility and maintainability

  And from SQL part

  • partial ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) ,
  • general BASE (basically available, soft state, eventually consistent)
  • business rule checking in database, hard to overlook even in case of multiple applications using the same data
  • NoSQL

  In one intensive four-hour tutorial, we will cover everything that a Python developer needs to know to set up, maintain, and get best performance out of a PostgreSQL database:

  • Installing PostgreSQL from source, or using standard packages.
  • Basic PostgreSQL configuration for development and for deployment.
  • Routine system monitoring and maintenance.
  • Backup and recovery.
  • Introduction to advanced configuration, including replication.
  • Using ORMs to their best advantage.

  The focus is the skills needed by developers in a devops environment who need to step into the database administrator role. No previous database administration experience is assumed.
