Charly Batista (Postgres Tech Lead, Percona) will be presenting his 40-minute talk Reducing Costs and Improving Performance With Data Modeling in Postgres on October 5 at 10:10 SAST.

During this talk, Charly will explain how PostgreSQL organizes the data internally, how the Free Space Map (FSM) works, and how we can reorganize the data model to take advantage of data alignment inside blocks reducing the size of the data in a disk and consequently in memory, which can save your money and improve performance.

About the event.

The fourth South African PostgresConf conference takes place online on 5 October 2021, with attendees representing a diverse class of professionals and companies from around the country and across the continent. This is an excellent opportunity for the database administration and developer community who use PostgreSQL to get to know each other, exchange ideas and learn about the current features and upcoming trends within PostgreSQL.
