Neues vom PostgreSQL Planet

Anyone who has worked with PostgreSQL in production environments knows that testing database performance is rarely straightforward.

Production workloads have peaks and troughs, complex query patterns, and user behaviour that varies throughout the day. This is why I'm pleased to introduce the pgEdge Load Generator.

If you're interested in joining us, please sign up using this form and I will send you an invite to one of the sessions. Thanks to Amit for agreeing to attend the sessions.Read more »
