Over the past ten years, we collaborated with many PostgreSQL users and also built several managed PostgreSQL solutions. From users who run their own Postgres deployments, we often hear the question, “I can put Postgres in a container and deploy it. Could you help me with taking backups and HA?”
Unfortunately, taking backups isn't as straightforward as using an off-the-shelf backup solution, and setting up high availability involves much more than just creating a hot standby. Running PostgreSQL for others exposed us to a diverse set of lesser-known operational challenges, and we thought this was a good opportunity to talk about some of our learnings.
In this talk, we’ll cover lesser-known challenges of not only in backups and high availability but also in security, provisioning, and more. Join me to learn how to make your PostgreSQL deployment truly resilient.
