Our curriculum is  focused on the most vital operational skills for modern data environments:

 

Setup, Internals, and Administration

 

Gain a holistic understanding of the system itself, starting with proper deployment.

In depth guide to installation on various operating systems (Linux, etc.) and configuration best practices.

Strategies for running and managing multiple isolated Postgres clusters on a single server, including port and resource management.

A deep dive into storage structure, process management, and memory architecture.

Best practices for deployment, configuration, and infrastructure design.

 Hands-on exercises in diagnosing slow queries, resource contention, and system failures.

 

Backup, Recovery, and Archiving

 

Master the techniques to protect and recover your data in any scenario.

Comprehensive guide to base backups and efficient backup methods.

Quick and reliable strategies for full-system recovery.

PITR (Point In Time Recovery),  Recover your database to any second in time.

Best practices for safe, reliable storage of your Write Ahead Logs (WAL).

Physical vs. Logical Backups: Understanding the trade offs and when to use each approach.

 

Replication and High Availability

 

Build robust, fault tolerant infrastructure using native Postgres features.

Architectural patterns for maximizing uptime and minimizing failure domains.

Set up real-time data synchronization for high availability and read scaling.

Log Shipping Replication. A foundation for asynchronous replication and disaster recovery.

Logical Replication: Flexible, selective replication for migration, upgrades, and selective data sharing.

 

Requirements

 

To ensure a seamless and consistent hands on experience, all attendees will receive Docker images that contain the complete class environment, including all necessary Postgres versions, tools, and packages for the topics covered.

 

Attendees MUST have Docker installed and running on their personal computer prior to the start of the class.
