Just back from All Things Open, OmniTI's COO, Robert Treat is hitting the road again--this time on a European tour, to talk about Postgres 9.3 and how to sleep better at night (less alarming alerts).
First, in Dublin at the PostgreSQL Conference Europe, he'll be giving attendees a peek at the new features in Postgres 9.3. Goodies like, performance improvement and memory changes, improved array support, event triggers, and lateral support.
PostgreSQL Conference Europe is the largest PostgreSQL conference in Europe. Organized by PostgreSQL Europe, with participation from most of the PostgreSQL user groups around Europe. PGConf.EU is a unique chance for European PostgreSQL users and developers to catch up, learn, build relationships, get to know each other, and consolidate a real network of professionals that use and work with PostgreSQL.
Next he goes to PostgreSQL Conference Germany in Oberhausen, where he'll give attendees their first look at the new and exciting things happening in Postgres.
Finally, he rounds out the tour in London, at O'Reilly Velocity Europe, where he'll start the conversation about the right way to design and implement alerts in his talk, "Less Alarming Alerts". He says,
The only thing worse than having no alerts. . .is having hundreds of alerts screaming at you constantly. Over the years we’ve had to come up with a way to help keep our operations team sane while also providing business value, and most importantly giving comfort to the folks that have brought us in. The methods that we’ve developed can be used by any operations team to help bring sanity back to their world, and end the cycle of 'pager fatigue'.
As part of many Open Source communities, one of the key ways that OmniTI gives back is through knowledge sharing and helping to foster discussions about the challenges our clients face working with Open Source. We're happy to participate in these and other conferences around the world.
