 Well, thank you. Thanks as a microphone work sounds like it. Okay, so thanks everybody for coming to be in here still this late But first and foremost, let me thank the organizers. This was great, and I think everybody agrees So give me one more piece of Little minutes trivia. We're gonna give away a weeks worth of training with Bruce Momjin So if you're interested put your business card in the bag there, and I'm gonna draw that later on And there's another colleague of mine there Okay, good. So let me start with three easy pieces To today's postgres and I'll give you my perspective for our perspective on on where postgres is where postgres has influenced things and What what I think are are important things that that postgres has is currently addressing and needs to address going forward So first I think everybody knows that postgres has had an incredible journey This is a slide from from Bruce Momjin I tuned and tweaked it a little bit, but you know, it's his credit to Help me describe this properly. What has happened over the last almost 20 years Michelle Metzger's just shared a picture from the first from a an early core team meeting at another another presentation and we had we had quite a good laugh at At what the team members at that time looked like So I think what's really important to see today is that that postgres today is Really absolutely Enterprise ready. There really are not too many tasks today that postgres needs to be afraid of in any way in any whatsoever way and we see that when we do Projects for enterprise customers. We see that every month. Okay, that is really a great thing for us today That there are not too many things where today with postgres you have to worry about So looking at that journey over the last well, you know 20 years almost 20 years You know something that we've been talking about quite a bit here and almost every one of the presentations that we've been given We've been talking about this DB engines ranking, right? I think everybody by now is familiar with DB engines and You know what's interesting is to look in there What the popularity of the different databases are and how the popularity is growing? So you can see here that over the last two year postgres is popularity has been growing tremendously has been going up Significantly and they have been a number of events or time points that have triggered this I want to try to do a little bit as give you share my impression as to what triggered this And what was important and for me what was exciting about this? So first however, you know, maybe this is a little sobering because you look at the postgres curve Yeah, you can see the postgres curve go up. What there is a couple of curves up there Right there are still very very popular. So even though This graph that we just looked at is really really impressive. Okay There are still a ways to go Okay, that even though postgres is popularity is growing very rapidly There are still things that that that need to be done So from our perspective here when I look at when I look at market forces that are driving us today That that are driving our customers or things that we be that we are being asked for today And again, this is just our view on on what drives us and where we make our investment in Postgres QL today on the one side you have innovation things like big data and innovative new workloads and There, you know, the big buzzwords obviously Hadoop couch-based mongo, etc Pulling pulling postgres in that direction or pulling the interest in that direction And I'll talk a little bit about what I think Postgres is offering in that space and why I'm quite excited about what postgres brings to the table in that space And on the other side, you know ease of use where when we talk to users Why they are very very excited about some of those products there and where I believe Postgres still needs to work on closing that gap to make the use even easier I mean, I know that we have the one-click installer. We now have tools like PG admin We have tools like let's say omnipitter That that make life with postgres a lot easier, but still there's a way to go There's other tools that are showing us the way On the other side we have the enterprise requirements or enterprise demands Where you know the big names the big vendors are people like Oracle HANA SQL server DB2 so there is there is a performance frontier a scalability frontier You know again where there is where there is work to be done So this is our perspective as to what from our perspective drives postgres forward and where the challenges are So what I'm going to talk about a little bit is what I see has been done recently in these different areas And why I think postgres is actually doing really really well And this is this goes hand in glove with the things for example that Robert Haas talked about earlier today When saying that you know that the database is great What there is work to be done a lot of the work that Robert focused on was all about the enterprise requirements So and I'll try to paint a little bit of a broader picture there with all the things that that actually have been done and why that's exciting Josh talked to us today earlier about the the shootout the shootout at the past corral Now I don't want to go through the details there again, but what's exciting for me is that postgres is so present in the cloud and The reason people go to postgres in the cloud is because it's easy It's easy to get started. It works really really quickly. We see that with our own deployment and product product deployment of postgres in the cloud So it's really exciting today to see that there are this many vendors and this many installations that make this work Okay, yes, there are differences between them, but they all address different needs So when I look at ease of use as one of the forces driving us There's been a lot of work and a lot of very very successful work in that space So I would almost say as far as progress report goes check Okay, it's really doing well on that side Now the thing that that I find most exciting and you know that that my colleague Vibor Kumar And I have been doing quite a bit of work this year and publishing last year around the use of No sequel and postgres because I think that is really a fantastic story of postgres not just Catching up because some people don't think Jeff Davis talked to me about that yesterday Have the impression that postgres is always trying to catch up This is absolutely an area where postgres is leading with innovation and I think it's really really cool The idea that by combining what we have with standard postgres with document with Jason B So a document store key value store We've really created something that I call a Swiss army knife for the DBA and there is not one other product out there Open source or other that can keep up with that and it's really exciting that these capabilities have come together and later on when we go back to that graph you can see that The moment that became available and widely published postgres's popularity has skyrocketed Now did it happen because of that or just happened to happen at the same time? Who knows? I think it's because of that Now that may just be our view. What's interesting is just a couple of weeks ago Forrester published a study and I'll make the slides available so you don't have to try to try to take pictures and And and they talked all about the combination of no sequel data with standard relational data What is the struggle inside the enterprises? Why is that such a big topic and one of the key things that they came back with is that? Organizations are unable to stop their developers from using no sequel Okay So that is a really I mean that that train has left the station Now what's happening next then is well, you know, everybody however wants to combine no sequel data with sequel data I mean if you look at it 96% of all the companies that Forrester talked to wants to combine that Okay, so we're saying from the postgres perspective. Well, so where's the problem? Okay, the problem was that people didn't know that they could just all do it in in one single platform Okay, and the real desire is that they're now seeking ways to bring it back together Well, if they used the right most innovative database platform They wouldn't have to seek ways because it would all be together and for me That is one of the really really exciting things that in postgres. You can have it both ways You can have it structured and unstructured and it all works well together in the same Really exciting Transactional context and by the way, it's acid compliant which means it'll still be there tomorrow and That's also cool. Right. I mean some other databases in jest Somebody's asked me well, what's the real reason you would use some no sequel databases. Well, it's plausible deniability Maybe you never had that data who knows so Now besides the ability to combine that some may say well, you know, but these other vendors are really really fast, you know well, so Some of you may know we ran these tests last year and when we published them They got a tremendous number of hits on our website when we showed that actually on a single server, right? Postgres in lots of key workloads is significantly faster than mongo Okay, so not only does it address a lot of the problems that it operations have Because their developers go rogue and then they're desperately trying to bring the data back into a responsibly Manageable environment, right? They don't need to do that. It actually also is faster and uses less less Space on disk, okay, and many of you Alvaro as one of them have actually rerun these tests and Alvaro actually pointed out that we had Overestimated mongo's performance. So actually the performance was worse Than what we had originally thought so again, this stuff is really cool and What's even more exciting? It was their first So it's really good. It's really fast and it was their first so as far as innovation goes in this triangle That we looked at before Postgres is really really nice So when we look at it today, there's another aspect from that is I think we can proudly say That no sequel for us means something different. It does not mean say no to sequel it really means that the the the new world of databases is not only sequel because Document data has justification key value peers have real use and the good thing about Postgres is not only can it Combine these two things it actually stretches the envelope of what you can do with an asset compliant database and again I think that's cool So the next thing I talked okay We have these three forces ease of use innovation and then enterprise well even in that area what we're seeing is that Postgres underlying in a postgres plus which is really what this report was all about But it's the same transactional engine okay Postgres was in 2013 put by Gartner into their leader quadrant for operational database management systems in 2014 they moved it into the leader quadrant from the Challenger quadrant into the leader quadrant We now have package companies package software companies who are moving their packages from leading commercial vendors onto Postgres Okay, we have lots of examples and many of us know that we're Where companies move their own in-house developed applications from DB2 oracle sequel server onto Postgres So all of that stuff is happening as a significant Significant enhancement in 9.2 9.3 and now coming forward also in 9.5 as far as scalability and performance goes There's more work to do as Robert has pointed out, but this stuff is really working Postgres today has been positioned in the same quadrant as the big so-called leading vendors Okay postgres today is a leading database solution That's what I want to emphasize when I talk about what are the forces that are pulling us and what have we been able to do in each of these quadrants so Now this shouldn't be a So let me just bring that curve back that we talked about before So you can see how the curve developed and what's interesting is the things that I just talked about are Actually the events that they're driving this curve Okay, so popularity and recognition of Postgres is actually driven by these achievements Okay, so the market or the users outside of this room are actually seeing That postgres, you know is crossing these thresholds getting over these hurdles Seeing that hey, you know Gartner said something about postgres and Suddenly popularity rankings jumped enormously Okay, then I put it along a little bit and then suddenly there was a lot There was the recognition that you could do JSON With postgres and that it really works and that pumped the curve up to the next level Okay, the 9.4 release now is pushing us to the next level Okay, so these things that I was talking about are not just sort of technical achievements They actually drive the recognition of what? Market the market's recognition of postgres and the popularity of postgres Okay, so that's for me. I don't know. I'm a geek That I find exciting that you know these features these knobs this these capabilities are that are Being made available. They are actually being seen by a much much greater audience out there so All I can say in Conclusion if you think about it postgres today if you think back at this on this this initial Line that I showed and if you think back about how postgres with early versions already Influenced products like green plum the teaser redshift, etc So postgres is much more present today than just what is shown under the label postgres So it has had great influence and now it also has great market presence. It drives super innovation So I want us to step away from saying hey, it's almost like Something else. No, no, it's actually in many many regards much much better Than many of these are the products Okay, and then you know for me this idea of being able to combine No sequel and sequel in the same environment and not have to go with different technology solutions different vendors Different DBAs different computer systems different backups different recovery, but no you can all do it in the same environment That I think is really cool, and then obviously we're and we're Catering mostly to large enterprises. So the fact that we're now seeing Enterprises move their enterprise level workloads to postgres Successfully that I think for me is is is the most the most exciting thing So all I can say now is that for me? I think with postgres the skies the limit, okay? So thanks everybody
