Join us virtually on Tuesday, October 14th for “Vindicating ZFS with PostgreSQL: Unleashing the Power of Scalability” with Federico Campoli.

In the ever-evolving landscape of database systems, PostgreSQL stands as a robust and highly capable RDBMS. However, achieving optimal performance at scale requires careful consideration of the underlying file system. This presentation will talk about ZOL (ZFS on Linux), a powerful and advanced file system originally developed by Sun Microsystems.
ZFS points of strength are robust data storage management, data integrity, data compression, snapshotting, and efficient storage allocation. However ZFS performances are terrible if compared with the native file systems like XFS or EXT4.
This presentation will help the attendees to have a better understanding for harnessing the power of ZFS and run PostgreSQL at scale levels not so different from XFS or EXT4.

Schedule:
12:00 PM Announcements, speaker introductions, presentations, Q&A.
1:15 PM Closing announcements, wrap up.
1:30 PM Event ends.

The link and detailed joining instructions, including the dial-in numbers for phone access, will be sent by email the day prior to the event, and posted on Meetup for those who have RSVPed "Yes".
