Postgres Users Group Meeting at Hi5 Offices
About 30 people attended the June San Francisco Bay Area Postgres Users Group meeting on June 12th. The topic was all about how Hi5 scaled PostgreSQL on over fifty servers to become one of the top twenty web sites in the world. Paul Lindner (Architect) and Ram Gudavalli (Lead Engineer) from Hi5 covered:
- The overall architecture, Servers/Storage/Network
- PostgreSQL scaling and partitioning, table partitioning
- Profiling methodology
- Use of tools such as Slony, iBatis, memcached and more.
A lively pizza-fueled discussion continued well after the talk. Thanks to all those that came to visit -- we're sure to do more of these events.
