Date: 2025-10-01
Time: 09:30–10:20
Room: Room 4
Level: Beginner

Coming from other relational databases, extensions were the most interesting thing about Postgres. This talk explores the database internals and architecture that allow extensions to hook into the standard query execution and storage engines. Then you’ll learn about some clever problem solving done by a few particular extensions, and how they tie the standard relational structure database into knots to support all kinds of interesting workloads and data models.
