We invite you to PGConf.Online 2021

The traditional conference PGConf.Russia this year due to a fed up virus could not be held within the promised time frame in the traditional form. Therefore, while online, but on the scheduled days – from 1 to 3 March, with the hope of being offline in the future. Online makes it easier to invite foreign speakers (therefore there are relatively many of them), participants are grazing – in general, online is cheaper, so we were able to make the conference free (thanks to respected sponsors, currently Intel, Nutanix, Avito and Zabbix, the list is rather total, will be replenished).

Features of the conference format

This year we do not single out a separate day of master classes – it makes no sense. Short and long reports (22 and 45 minutes + questions) and master classes (90 minutes or more) are distributed over all three days of the conference. Some of the talks were pre-recorded by the presenters, as is customary at most online conferences, and some will be broadcast live. There will be simultaneous translation. Questions – via chat, then the presenter will answer them with the help of the presenter. After the lectures, you can go to the Spatial Chat rooms to sleep continue the discussion.

We also invite the participants to make 5-minute blitz reports and hold their own meetups. All this will be recorded during the conference.

To make it all work, we attracted friends to help – namely, the Ontico company, i.e. Oleg Bunin’s team conducting the famous HighLoad ++ conferences and others.

You can register for the conference at website until February 26

What’s in the program?

Alvaro Hernandez – a frequent guest of PGConf.Russia – will share his experience of using PostgreSQL for Kubernetes in a master class How to convert Postgres to cloud platform

Igor Kosenkov, Postgres Pro fault-tolerant systems expert, will talk about configuring a cluster using the CRM Shell utility.

Two master classes will focus on Postgres performance – Nikolay Samokhvalov and our guest from sunny Pakistan Ibrara Ahmed.

Disclaimer

You may not like all the talks. But this is natural – there are different levels and topics. But there is almost always a choice between two or three parallel streams. Perhaps, because of this choice, you will have to skip an interesting talk. Alas, this also happens. A bit of comfort is that the videotapes will be saved if the presenters don’t mind (in previous conferences, it happened that the presenters or their employers objected). And, of course, speaker changes and changes in the schedule are possible. This also happens online.

This is our first experience of a large online conference, so we invited an experienced technical team, undoubtedly one of the best in Russia. Nevertheless, anything is possible, please treat with understanding. We will try to make the conference the best possible for all participants. We, in turn, ask you to observe them. reasonable rules


As usual, post-conference slides and videos will be published. We will hold a warmer and more lamp offline PGConf.Russia event a little later. Follow the news – and see you online!
