This was our 10th webinar; that escalated quickly!
We discussed PostgreSQL Superpowers in Practice.
Intriguingly, PostgreSQL is both popular and underrated. Many people use it because it's for free, not knowing its superpowers. Postgres has become a model example of how to create relational databases. In many elements, a model engine.
We looked in detail at its unusual features, such as:
- partitioning,
- engine open natively for plugins using TimescaleDB and PostGIS as examples,
- rich extensions ecosystem and how they work internally,
- materialised views, generated columns, etc.
- write-ahead log and its push notifications capabilities,
- many more.
We also did a longer Q&A session at the end.
We avoided boring scenarios, played with the code and saw what could be helpful in practice.
We built a simple but real fleet management reporting and alerting scenario.
The intention was to show how versatile is Postgres ecosystem and your applications can benefit from it.
Webinar was an extended version of the Postgres Superpowers in Practice article.
