Cognite Tech Talk: Postgres can do THAT?

Alex Brasetvik shares a fast-paced walkthrough of useful and lesser-known PostgreSQL features for debugging, testing, and schema changes.

This presentation is a fast-paced walk-through of very useful but occasionally lesser-known features of Postgres, the open source database. Go more in detail in this Medium blog: medium.com/cognite/postgres-can-do-that-f221a8046e The talk covers widely, providing lots of pointers to select resources that go deeper. You'll hear of several topics to learn more about – whether it's when developing, live debugging, or learning to avoid production problems in the first place. Example nuggets: - How does this query actually execute, and how does it change as data grows? - How can I easily create large amounts of test data? - What's slow in production right now? - How can I apply my schema changes without requiring a maintenance window? - What's powering the Postgres-backed GraphQL engines?
