Postgres say what?
We all love Postgres, or so we say. But can we defend it, do we know why we love Postgres?
We’ll cover a rapid fire set of what makes Postgres great. Intermixed with a lot of things you had no idea Postgres could do.
Some examples of things we’ll cover.
psql is the Postgres CLI. But don’t you want a more advanced graphical editor? Not when you realize all it can do.
What if I told you I could do a health check on your database in 5-10 minutes–asking you nothing about your app and find easy wins for performance improvement? Every Postgres database has this information to pull it off and you don’t have to be a DBA or Postgres to to take advantage.
What about watching a movie from within Postgres? Does that make any sense at all? And while watching a movie from within Postgres may not help you with your production database, engineering at times should be fun so we’ll end with a little bit of it.
