Resolving long-standing bugs, with plv8 as an example
I'll explain how we worked around a long-standing bug in plv8 that was related to the return of scalar JSON values from Javascript functions. We managed to fix the issue, addressing it at the level of the original project to ensure stable operation for all users, rather than using crutches in our code. We will discuss whether it’s worthwhile to push this further because the format for returning NULL data still remains a problem, and also we’ll share the history of this particular pull request's acceptance on GitHub and make some suggestions for those who still doubt to get involved as contributors.

PostgreSQL: from a replica to a high-availability cluster
Get ready for a trip through the essential techniques for building a robust and expandable PostgreSQL cluster! We'll start from the fundamentals, explore the synchronous and asynchronous PostgreSQL replication, speak about Patroni, a crucial tool for managing sharding and replication, and its role in automating cluster recovery and failure detection. Using a live example, we’ll see how the cluster functions and add HAProxy and PGbouncer for more efficient load balancing and high availability, and also use keepalived to ensure continuous system operation. Generally speaking, we’ll overview a combination of technologies assemblable into a highly available and scalable PostgreSQL cluster.

int –> bigint migration
When a system starts to expand, it frequently occurs that previous successful features eventually stop functioning. When it comes to data type overflow, this is precisely true. If int4 was sufficient at the start of the project, it could eventually run out entirely and you'll need to move to bigint.
In this talk, I will outline the challenges that DBAs encounter, explain how to address those issues, and present a tool that will make them much easier.

Postgres Protocol: advantages, drawbacks, and pitfalls
In this paper, I'll discuss the Postgres client-server interaction structure. Even though the protocol has been in place for 20 years, it is now evident there was a better way to implement some parts of it in the past.
