PDXPUG: January meeting next week

When: 6-8pm Thu Jan 15, 2015
Where: Iovation
Who: Gabrielle Roth
What: RDS Postgres

Amazon integrated Postgres into their general Relational Database Services
(RDS) offerings July 1, 2014. RDS offers automatic failover, scalability,
and easy configuration, plus Amazon handles all the patching and upgrades
for you! Their SDK supports many languages and includes a robust CLI, if
you want to automate management of your deployments. They also support
several popular Postgres extensions.

Of course, since it's a managed service, you can't do everything you might
expect or want to. In this talk, I'll discuss the fun, the quirky, and the
downright maddening features I've discovered working with production RDS
deployments. Come find out what it's like to use RDS Postgres day-to-day.
