What I learned interviewing the PostgreSQL Community | Citus Con: An Event for Postgres 2022

From the creator

Video of a talk by Andreas Scherbaum at Citus Con: An Event for Postgres. Abstract: Since early 2020 I've been publishing weekly interviews with members of the PostgreSQL database community. So far (February 2022) that's 97 interviews, with many more to come. And we all learned a lot from these! Just to name a couple examples: • How complicated is it to start using PostgreSQL? • What is the most annoying thing in our beloved database? • How can people start contributing to PostgreSQL? • What is the favorite PostgreSQL extension? • Which conferences are people visiting? And many more! The interview answers show some commonalities, but also show very different aspects—for example, how people treat their development environments. This talk looks at the answers in the Postgres community interviews and summarizes what the members of the community think, like, and dislike. Statistics and quotes will round up the talk. Andreas Scherbaum has worked with PostgreSQL since 1997. He is involved in several PostgreSQL related community projects, is a member of the Board of Directors of the European PostgreSQL User Group, and also wrote a PostgreSQL book (in German). Since 2011 Andreas worked for EMC/Greenplum/Pivotal and tackled very big databases. Nowadays he does the same—but with maybe even more and bigger databases—for Adjust GmbH in Berlin. ► Video bookmarks: ⏩ 00:00 Introduction ⏩ 02:23 What is this project ⏩ 04:05 Technical details ⏩ 07:12 Postgres, PostgreSQL, Postgre ⏩ 0
