Marc Linster

This half-day working session brings together practitioners, builders, and skeptics to explore how AI, machine learning, and automation are reshaping the way we develop, run, and scale PostgreSQL. Through a curated set of short talks and an interactive discussion, we will move beyond hype and focus on: This is not a passive session.

Self-driving, or autonomous, databases are an urgent topic as PostgreSQL becomes more and more popular. Organisations adopting PostgreSQL are facing major challenges:

Slowly Changing Dimensions (SCD) are a popular method to model changes of database reference values over time and maintain history data, for example product prices that change over time. When correctly used, they are powerful and provide a structured way to simplify complex data models.

Innovation is a critical factor in driving an organization’s growth, both for internal systems used to run the business as well as applications used by customers.

Digital transformation has made data a key strategic asset, and that puts open source databases center stage. The race is on to power more enterprise applications with Postgres, and to take advantage of what is indisputably the most transformative open source technology since Linux.

Licensing complexity, rising costs, and audit risk are motivating legacy database users to accelerate their migration efforts to alternatives like open source-based Postgres in compelling numbers. The presentation will discuss why legacy migrations are picking up steam and provide data showing what types of constructs are migrated most often.

Join this talk as Marc Linster explores the global economic impact of Postgres development and the network of ecosystem players heavily investing in core Postgres technology.
