POSETTE 2024 Talk

Vindicating ZFS with PostgreSQL: Unleashing the Power of Scalability

(Livestream 4)

In the ever-evolving landscape of database systems, PostgreSQL stands as a robust and highly capable RDBMS. However, achieving optimal performance at scale requires careful consideration of the underlying file system.

This presentation will talk about ZOL (ZFS on Linux), a powerful and advanced file system originally developed by Sun Microsystems. ZFS point of strength are robust data storage management, data integrity, data compression, snapshotting, and efficient storage allocation. However ZFS performances are terrible if compared with the native file systems like XFS or EXT4.

This presentation will help the attendees to have a better understanding for harnessing the power of ZFS and run PostgreSQL on ZOL at scale levels not so different from XFS or EXT4.

The Postgres team at Microsoft is proud to be the organizer of POSETTE: An Event for Postgres (formerly Citus Con).
