Upcoming Event

We invite application developers to a conversation with Postgres DBAs, Database Architects, and Database developers. We want to hear about your challenges using Postgres as your application backend and your ideas about how to improve this interaction. To add your own topic suggestions, please fill out this Google Form.


We will start our summit by finalizing the list of discussion topics, and then we will break into discussion groups for about 45 minutes. Then we will have a short break and will listen to the short (5-10 min) discussion summary or presentation from each group. I hope that we will be able to learn something new together!
