PostgreSQL at 20TB and Beyond: Analytics at a Massive Scale
Speaker: Chris Travers
At Adjust, we produce near-real-time analytics on over 400TB of high velocity data. This talk is a brief introduction to how we do it, and it serves as a showcase for what PostgreSQL is capable of doing in a big data environment.
This talk will be of interest to people looking for information about how open source databases can be used at massive scales, approaches to federated data, and general open source success case studies.
Note: There aren’t enough people who are experience in Postgres because the popularity has grown faster than the pool of qualified people
I’ve lived as a man & a woman — here’s what I learned | Paula Stone Williams | TEDxMileHigh
If you’re a man, at one point or another you’ve probably thought to yourself, “I will never understand women!” And if you’re a woman, “what’s wrong with men?!” But your gender is all you’ve ever known, so how could you understand? As a transgender woman, Paula Stone Williams has lived on both sides, “and the differences are massive!” In this funny and insightful talk, Paula shares her wisdom for all. Reverend Dr. Paula Stone Williams is the president of RLT Pathways, Inc., a non-profit providing counseling and coaching services. She works with the Center for Progressive Renewal, serves on the board of the Gay Christian Network, and is an active member at Highlands Church in Denver. She has been featured in the New York Times, The Denver Post, and Colorado Public Radio, and is a blogger for The Huffington Post. She is an avid runner and mountain biker with three children and five granddaughters. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
