PostgreSQL is an open source object-relational database system that has soared in popularity over the past 30 years from its active, loyal, and growing community. We found the answers at the Postgres Conference in March where we surveyed PostgreSQL users, contributors, and SQL and NoSQL database administrators alike.

This talk originated from my updates to Systems Performance 2nd Edition , and this was the first time I've given this talk in person! CXL in a way allows a custom memory controller to be added to a system, to increase memory capacity, bandwidth, and overall performance. Or even on a plane. It was a great privilege.

The AWS team launched this week Amazon Glacier , a cold storage archive service at the very low price point of $0.01 In 2007 Goetz revisited the results, this time also including SSD storage into the mix, which not surprisingly did change everything.

I don’t need more bandwidth for video conferences or movies, but I would like to be able to download operating system updates and other large items in seconds rather than minutes. What would the world look like if all of our storage was in the cloud, and access to that storage was so fast we didn’t care? Upcoming events.

A resilient system continues to operate successfully in the presence of failures. The system needs to maintain a safety margin that is capable of absorbing failure via defense in depth, and failure modes need to be prioritized to take care of the most likely and highest impact risks. The first technique is the most generally useful.

With these requirements in mind, and a willingness to question the status quo, a small group of distributed systems experts came together and designed a horizontally scalable distributed database that would scale out for both reads and writes to meet the long-term needs of our business. This was the genesis of the Amazon Dynamo database.
