Introduction to Postgres-XC: Write Scalable Cluster

Having scalability issues? Attracted to the idea of NoSQL but worried about consistency and having to rewrite your SQL-based applications? Postgres-XC version 1.0 was recently released. Come learn what Postgres-XC is, what use cases make sense for it and what its
limitations are.

Postgres-XC is a write scalable shared-nothing cluster with cluster-wide Multiversion Concurrency Control (MVCC) and consistency.

The talk will be presented by Mason Sharp, one of the original architects of Postgres-XC and co-founder of StormDB.
