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.

When you are optimizing PostgreSQL it is usually maintenance that goes by the wayside. How do we fix autovacuum? Where did all of this bloat come from? Why am I getting IO spikes? How do I get RDS to behave?! Why are commits so slow on replication? The answer to all of these questions is understanding the relationship between proper Postgres maintenance and performance. Join us for a 3 hour jaunt through the wily world of making Postgres Go!
