Highload++ Presentation
I have uploaded the my slides from Highload++, a web scaling conference in Moscow. It was a great trip and conference and I was impressed with the size of the PostgreSQL community. You can view the slides here and the video here.
Worth noting outside of the slide deck is that PostgreSQL has proven to scale to 32 cores for us at MyYearbook.com. We are currently running the 8.2 line of Postgres on HP 785G5 boxes with 256GB of RAM on 32 Cores. We found it gave us significant headroom on servers that were eating CPU at 16 cores.
I’d like to thank Nikolay Samokhvalov and the Highload++ Conference for having me come out and speak at the conference. Nikolay is doing great things in Russia for Postgres and the Postgres user group in Moscow is truly an impressive sight.
