The talk will cover how cities generate lots of varied and interesting data and outline how PostgreSQL is used in Garden Grove developed Ruby on Rails applications as well as a number of commercially available applications. Ruby on Rails tends to treat databases as “bit buckets” but the framework can be easily integrate many of Postgres’ powerful features if handled correctly. City developed applications include police records management, utility billing, and parks and recreation management.
