No video of the event yet, sorry!
The talk will be presented by myself and Emma Fitzgerald. We will cover: - Criticality of Postgres for Atlassian. Most of Atlassian's products use Postgres for its data store. - How our Postgres infrastructure, which is one of the largest Postgres fleet in the world, is managed today in the cloud. - Limitations/Challenges with this system. This section will focus on general challenges with managing a SaaS data store using Postgres and how cloud solutions does not scale for a very large fleet. - How we are re-architecting by building a custom platform. We are now building our own Postgres platform on k8s and in this section we will give an insight into the various open source tools that we are using. - Technologies that we are using and how we have put them together. Focusing on Observability, orchestration, auth, etc.. - What we have learned so far.
