About a year ago, OmniTI was approached by a startup company seeking help for managing their IT infrastructure. To better manage costs, they made a business decision to run their entire IT architecture in the cloud; including their PostgreSQL databases. They were having issues keeping their servers running smoothly, experiencing almost weekly machine flake out problems, so they asked us to review their architecture and implement solutions to make it more resilient to failures. OmniTI's Lead Database Architect, Denish Patel, will present, "Deploying PostgreSQL on Amazon EC2: A Case Study," and discuss the approach and processes implemented to keep the PostgresSQL servers running smoothly.
In his session, "Lies, damn lies, and graphing--Finding a better way to look at your database monitoring data," Database Administrator, Phil Sorber, will talk about how traditional graphing tools lie about monitoring trends over time, and show attendees how to find out what users are really experiencing.
PGDay NYC 2013 is a conference run by the local NYC PostgreSQL User Group (NYCPUG). This conference is part of the effort to grow the PostgreSQL community by increasing awareness and providing the appropriate training and resources to further PostgreSQL adoption. More about the conference can be found at NYC PostgreSQL User Group.
