Kicking the Donkey of PostgreSQL Replication
Presented by:
Joshua D. Drake
Joshua (JD) is a long time Open Source advocate and entrepreneur dating back to the early days of Professional Open Source. From the valleys of Usenet he sold custom Linux servers with a whopping 16 MB of ram and 1GB SCSI drives. These were the days of SLS and many, many floppy disks. Through the years he has help found multiple Internet Service Providers as well as eventually launching his own firm, Command Prompt, Inc.. Command Prompt has over the years become one of the predominant privately owned PostgreSQL support and Consulting firms.
An avid public speaker and writer, he is also the founder of United States PostgreSQL, PgConf (PostgresConf) and More than a Refresh: A podcast about the most interesting people you haven't met. He currently resides off-grid in Montana.
He divides his time between Command Prompt, off-grid projects, mentoring/leadership roles and helping those who wish to become successful, define what that means for them.

Have you ever wondered how to configure PostgreSQL Replication? Have you ever wondered how to configure PostgreSQL Log Shipping? Have you ever wondered: Which one is best for my application? Are you aware of the pitfalls of Replication? Where it breaks? When it will act in a way that is counter-intuitive? Do you know how to fix it? Do you know how to monitor it? If you have asked yourself any of these questions, this is the talk for you. We will step through PostgreSQL replication, the technology involved, the configuration parameters and how to configure it in a manner that isn't fragile. We will also cover gotcha's how to prepare for them and understanding what replication is doing. This talk is not not for the faint of heart. I will take a no holds barred approach and give you the real deal, the dirt and the gold that is one of the most sought after PostgreSQL features.
