I am hosting a webinar on April 29th at 10:00 am Pacific time to discuss the core principles of PostgreSQL database scaling. The webinar will enable attendees to avoid common mistakes that limit future system capabilities.

During the webinar, I will discuss how to simplify PostgreSQL scaling by using pg_shard, an open-source extension for managing the placement, distribution, and replication of a sharded database. pg_shard is a standalone PostgreSQL extension developed by Citus Data which addresses many NoSQL use cases while also enabling targeted real-time analytical queries. For users who need complex full-cluster queries and JOINs, pg_shard provides an easy upgrade path to CitusDB. The pg_shard extension maintains full compatibility with the standard PostgreSQL tool set, types, indexes, and semi-structured data types.

By the end of the webinar, attendees will understand the core tenets of database scaling as well as which scaling problems are appropriate to address with sharding. In addition, I will cover the features and functionality of pg_shard by presenting use cases where it is being successfully used in production environments today.

I hope you will join me on April 29th.
