I'm Usama, one of the core contributors of Pgpool and I'll be giving a brief overview of Pgpool-II, why and where it can and can't be used, and will be signing off with a bit on what's been happening in Pgpool-II community and how the future looks like.
Ask anything about the PostgreSQL Community. A number of folks involved in the PostgreSQL community regularly attend SCaLE and make themselves available for questions.
Experiencing replication conflicts is not too unfamiliar a sight. Whether one experiences replication lag, slots, locks, snapshots, tablespace issues, or other conflicts, establishing a set of best practices along with using proper observability tools will help avoid potential issues. This talk focuses on what to do and what not to in order to avoid database conflicts in streaming replication setups by providing deep insight into how issues are PostgreSQL internals.
It's 2023 and we have too many visual tools and services to navigate in the database. So, during this talk, I'll walk through practical psql usage, showing how I explore and use make all my DB navigation.
I'll be hacking everything on the terminal. Showing how to use command line arguments, keyboard shortcuts for bash readline and how to get help on psql. My idea is to show how to not get frustrated with the command line and have a laser focus on a mono-task style. One terminal, one tab. Background process, foreground it again.
More and more musicians are using computers for live performances. You don't need proprietary software and a fancy aluminum body laptop to make it work. We'll go through what's needed to turn your machine into keyboard workstation:
- Required and recommended hardware
- Kernel settings - Scheduling vs using a RealTime kernel.
- Audio Connectivity - JACK, Alsa, and PipeWire
- Apps - Synthisizers vs Samplers.
- Finding your own sound - (Creating samples and more)
The holy grail of computing has become this intangible idea of “Quantum Computing.” As this field continues to grow and the possibility of it coming to consumers grows, it becomes more important than ever to understand this mysterious field and its funky quirks. Join Wesley Bantugan as you learn about Qiskit, a quantum computer simulator, to learn how these computers really work without the quantum and algebraic noise.
Every day, someone new wants to deploy their cloud native app.
Suddenly, all sorts of people have questions and need to make changes.
How should platform teams give folks the access they need?
This session will show how the basics of Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) compose a flexible system that lets teams work together.
Come learn about:
- RBAC Basics
- Identity
- Common Misunderstandings
- RBAC's Limitations
- Helpful Patterns for Real World Usage
Expect to leave better equipped to support the transparent, collaborative, self-service ownership of a DevOps culture.
Thinking of your security teams as "winning" and "losing" when doing Red Team exercises can be a harmful perspective for both sides. A common parable in the security industry is that "defenders think in lists, attackers think in graphs". As long as this continues to be true, thinking of your Red Team "winning" versus your Blue Team can be demoralizing to your response team, and can lead to a poor approach from your Red Team. In this talk, listen to a former security-focused SRE share perspective they've gained from joining an internal Red Team.
Today's technology has fundamentally changed the way we make and experience music and art. To show you how music and art is currently being redefined, we present to you, Magenta. Magenta is a research project within Google that is dedicated to connecting the pipeline between machine learning, music, and art. With the development of artificial intelligence that generates songs, images, drawings, etc., it promotes creativity and craftsmanship beyond levels we could have ever imagined.
A discussion of the model for how open source software foundations can plan for longevity that survives its founders while protecting the community from the whims of political and commercially driven decision making. This session is designed to be both thought-provoking and open to debate. Come prepared to challenge and be challenged, with old assumptions about open source project management on the table.
