Currently I am a Senior Site Reliability Engineer for the Public Cloud Pratice of Claranet where I help customers migrate to the cloud and continue to support them afterward. I have been using PostgreSQL since 7.4 and made a few contributions that appeared in 9.1 as well as a number of bugfixes to the JDBC driver. I'm very passionate about PostgreSQL and have spoken reguarly at PGDay.UK on a variety of topics.
This will be my first time as both an attendee and as a speaker.
I will be discussing the options for using public cloud proviers such as AWS and Google to host your PostgreSQL database and making an impartial assesment of those options. I'll also discuss strategies for migrating your existing databases into these providers. This topic was chosen as it brings together two technologies I love, PostgreSQL and cloud computing and I firmly believe many people could make better use of both.
Anyone interested in having their database hosted and especially those considering hosting in the various public cloud offerings. Administrators who are tasked with migrating their databases will be interested in my migration strategies.
No real knowledge is required although some exposure to PostgreSQL's replication capabilities would be of benefit.
