Postgres Ibiza 2024: Selected Talks

We’re pleased to announce the final talks selection for Postgres Ibiza 2024! We are extremely grateful for all the talk submissions received (40% more than last year!) and the great job that the Talk Selection Committee has done to select the final 18 really outstanding talks.

What makes these talks outstanding is that submissions went a step further and proposed topics that go beyong the “usual Postgres topics”, and explore areas like pushing extension’s boundaries with extensions, building a 63-node Raspberry Pi 3B+ cluster running Postgres on Kubernetes (!!!), discussions on the sunset of Greenplum open source or a larger than average number of topics around containerized Postgres –including obviously Kubernetes, and an API-first new Postgres (containerized) distribution. We encourage you to review the talk details by yourself.

What’s even more outstanding is that the small, Mediterranean island of Ibiza will bring selected speakers from places as far as Jakarta, Singapore or Australia (!!). Huge gratitude to the speakers willing to jump around the world to contribute to PGIBZ.

Here’s the list of the talks upcoming for Postgres Ibiza:

• Pushing boundaries for extensions, with extensions, Yurii Rashkovskii (Vancouver).
