See you in Brussels

The next week I will present at the Fosdem PGDay 2017.
This is the first time I travel to Brussels, the first time I visit the Fosdem and the presentation is almost brand new. I gave the same presentation at the last Brighton PostgreSQL meetup and  this helped me to tailor the slides in a better way.

During the talk I will explain about the first project I was assigned since I joined Transferwise in July 2016, where I helped the analyst to move a struggling MySQL database, used for the business intelligence, into a faster PostgreSQL 9.5 database.

I can't wait to meet the PostgreSQL friends and visit the Fosdem.

So, see you in Brussels!

presenting pg chameleon at the brighton postgresql meetup

Back from Estonia after the amazing European PGConf 2016 I'm about to give a talk on the MySQL to PostgreSQL replication project I'm developing.

But first things first. I want to thank all the organisers of the PGConf Europe. The talks were super interesting the location absolutely stunning and the old and new friends I met, remembered me how amazing is the PostgreSQL community. Unfortunately I missed the social events (did somebody said a DBA can have social life? :P).


The meetup will be in Brighton UK Friday 18th of November. There will be  a chat starting at 19.00 with pizza and beer offered by our sponsor.
The talk will start around 19.30 and will be streamed on youtube here.

Here's the talk description.

pg_chameleon is a lightweight replication system written in python. The tool connects to the mysql replication protocol and replicates the data in PostgreSQL.
The author's tool will talk about the history, the logic behind the functions available and will give an interactive usage example.

If you are in Brighton and want to join us please RSVP here.
