**Abstract**
You've been lied to! You've been told to keep logic out of the database, to trust your app layer, and to avoid stored procedures at all costs. That advice is wrong--and it's costing you.

This talk exposes the real reason your system is slow: it's not the database, it's your over-engineered stack. We'll show how moving business logic into Postgres leads to better performance, fewer round-trips, and lower CPU usage. You'll see direct benchmarks comparing the same logic written client-side and inside the database. The difference is dramatic. We'll break down real-world examples and cover how to structure, test, and version stored procedures in a way that keeps them clean and maintainable.

If you’ve been told stored procedures are an anti-pattern, it’s time to question that belief. Come see why doing more in your database might be the best decision you make for your app.

Join us on Tuesday, April 22, at 6:00 PM EDT at Cesium for an engaging talk by Jonah.
