You Need a PostgreSQL Restore Plan Presentation
You Need a PostgreSQL Restore Plan PresentationGrant Fritchey Over and over, you'll hear the need to have a plan in place for backing up your PostgreSQL databases. However, this truly has things completely backwards. The most important thing is not your ability to backup a database. Instead, your most important ability will be to restore a database. This session will explore the concepts that will enable you to create a viable restore plan for your PostgreSQL databases. We'll cover concepts like the Recovery Time Objective and Recovery Point Objective and how they help you, with your business, to define a PostgreSQL recovery plan. Once you have a recovery plan, building a database backup plan is simple. One of the most important things you'll ever do is successfully restore a database in an emergency. This session will help you prepare for that moment.
PostgreSQL Query Performance Monitoring for the Absolute Beginner
PostgreSQL Query Performance Monitoring for the Absolute BeginnerGrant Fritchey You may know that your database is slow, or, you may be told that there are performance problems in the database. However, how do you know where the performance problems are? Which queries are running the slowest? Why are they running slow? This session will take you through the fundamental tools that are built right into PostgreSQL that can help you answer all these questions. We'll start with using queries against the Cumulative Statistics System. We'll begin an exploration of explain plans. Setup and guidance for how all these tools work will be provided along the way. You can finally know which queries are slow, and why they are slow.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?
How analogue intelligence complements AI
How analogue intelligence complements AIPaul Rowe
Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results.
News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?
