On October 8th at 17:30 the second Dutch PostgreSQL meetup will be held in Amsterdam. Please join us for some very interesting talks.

Andres Freund, a PostgreSQL committer and developer working at Citus Data, will speak about major scalability improvements in recent PostgreSQL versions and what the biggest remaining scalability concerns are. Some of the remaining issues can mainly be addressed by changing Postgres, others can be worked around on the application side.

Marco Slot from Citus Data will give a talk about the open source pg_shard extension, which lets you seamlessly shard and scale out PostgreSQL tables across many machines. We will look at how to use it for building a scalable document store and demonstrate some upcoming features.

Finally, Reiner Peterke from Splendid Data will show pg_insight, a flexible tool for collecting historical statistics information using the Postgres statistics infrastructure. It integrates with elastic search for graphical representation of the data from performance monitoring and trending.

You can RSVP on the PostgreSQL Meetup. Hope to see you there!
