We like to kick off the new year with you! We would like to invite you to the first “PostgreSQL User Group NL” meetup of 2024 with a strong line-up and a new location: Tilaa in Den Bosch!
Ellert van Koperen will share with us something about his journey around migrating large databases within the dynamic world of Source Energy.
Marc Linster will share with us his vision on the future of PostgreSQL in a rapidly changing world of Analytics, AI and Cloud.
In addition to these interesting headliners, we offer the opportunity to participate in Lightning Talks. If you have something to share in the field of PostgreSQL, let us know and we will be happy to give you the floor.

THE GOLDILOCKS-ZONE: BETWEEN GUESSING AND A FULL BENCHMARK
door Ellert van Koperen, DB-Architect and Performance Tuner
Over Ellert:
Ellert is working with databases in general since 1998 and PostgreSQL specifically since 2004. After starting as a freelance consultant in 2014 building (web)backends he decided to focus on databases in general and PostgreSQL specifically.
When migrating an existing system in general and a database in particular it often can be quite a challenge to get a decent picture in advance of the needed capacity (CPU, RAM, IOps, storage). Running a POC with a realistic scenario can help with this, but comes with its own challenges. In this short talk I will show how I did it for the customer Vandebron and what turned out to be the goldilocks-zone in the decision making process.

Lightning Talks
What are Lightning Talks?
A Lightning talk is a short presentation given at a conference or meetup. Unlike other presentations, Lightning Talks last only a few minutes and several are usually given in a short time slot by differen
t speakers. Everyone has the opportunity to give their views, share a short topic or ask for input from the audience in the span of 1 slot.
During the PostgreSQL Usergroup NL meetups, through the Lightning Talks, we provide a low-threshold stage for participants to share their experience and knowledge.
Would you like to submit a Lighting Talk, do you have a short topic, would you like to share something within the PostgreSQL domain or what it touches? Send us an email with your suggestion, your topic, or just your name requesting a time slot and we will schedule you into the Lightning Talks! You can also put your name on the list on the night itself!
