I tend to spend a lot of my time reviewing what is going on in the wider PostgreSQL ecosystem. Over the past few months I have been increasingly intriqued at a overriding theme that is starting to emerge in the market. That "EnterpriseDB" is "The PostgreSQL Company". This isn't about taglines but actual perception in the market.

I was speaking with an individual from 10Gen (#PgEast Gold Sponsor and creator …

Not much to say here, but this is a great thread on why the "Cloud" is a serious problem real, production quality, database use.

I arrived at the New Yorker yesterday to find that it was an excellent choice for our attendees to sleep. In the last couple of years they have renovated all the rooms and the hotel is quite nice. I have a double and will be here the next 12 days, yes that means I will be here on St. Patrick's day. For all those PostgreSQL Peeps that have never been …

With #PgEast just two weeks away I have been looking for every possible place that I can to advocate the conference. In doing so, I have been finding lots of interesting tidbits of information. For example, did you know (per Stefan/Mastermind) PostgreSQL is lucky to reach 15k tps per core for SIMPLE QUERIES, whereas MySQL can do upward of 30k tps per core for SIMPLE QUERIES? There is …

The session schedule is now up. We also have a new twitter account for the conference. Further, EFF has also offered a discounted membership for #PgEast attendees, more information can be found here. Of course you can register in full here.

I am truly humbled at the amazing level of …

Submit Talk to PgEast

Alright slackers, you know who you are. The constant presence at every conference. The speaker, that submits their talk at 11:59PM before the CFP closes, I am talking to YOU! In three days, the CFP for what is going to be the largest PostgreSQL Conference in the Western World to date (I say Western because JPUG kicks U.S. butt in attendance just at their user meetings alone), is going to …
