The document discusses the evolution and significance of Postgres as a modern open-source database management system (DBMS) and its role in digital transformation and DevOps practices. It highlights the importance of leveraging open-source solutions in hybrid cloud environments to achieve agility, speed, and cost-effectiveness, as well as the changing responsibilities of database administrators in this new paradigm. Furthermore, it emphasizes the convergence of various data models and technologies to meet the demands of digital business applications.

1. Postgres: the centerpiece for
modernising IT infrastructure
Gaby Schilders - EDB

2. Agenda
• Open source, Postgres and EDB origins
• Digitalization, competition and open source
• Postgres as a platform of innovation in a multi-model
data world
• The role of digital business applications in digital
business initiatives

6. Digitalization
The integrated use of analytics, big data, the cloud, the
Internet of Things, mobile, and the application culture.

7. Digital Transformation
How enterprises apply digital technology to their
businesses and operational processes enabling new
types of products and services rather than simply
enhancing existing systems.

8. Digitalization Makes Competition a Higher Stakes Game

9. Open Source is Critical to Your IT Strategy
“Open-source software (OSS) industry saturation is complete: today, 95%
of mainstream IT organizations leverage nontrivial open-source software
assets within their mission-critical IT portfolios — whether they know it or
not.”
-Hype Cycle for Open-Source Software, 2016, Mark Driver, 11 July 2016
“Add open-source RDBMSs to your organization's DBMS standards for
new uses, and to replace commercial RDBMSs where these are not
specifically required.”
-Emerging Technology Trends Create Opportunities for DBMS Cost Optimization, Donald Feinberg, Adam

10. The DBA in Digital Business Initiatives
• Digital Business Applications are developed in schema
less modes
• Data models ‘emerge’ during the Agile Process
• DevOps frameworks support automated provisioning,
scaling, integration ad recovery of highly available data
base solutions
• Commercial vendor with high-end hardware help open
source scale
• Where does that leave the DBA?
10

11. The DBA in Digital Business Initiatives
• Old:
• Create/manage data models
• Add tables, columns, indexes, foreign keys
• Instantiate data bases
• Manage failover and recovery
• New
• Focus on data as a critical business asset
• Manage data origination, data quality, data sharing and data integrity
• Facilitate the integration of data across business applications
• Focus on creating value instead of managing systems
• Focus on acceleration infrastructure (DBaaS/IaaS, schema less
development)
11

12. Polyglot Persistence
It’s a fact not one DBMS technology
dominates
Event capture or caching of
transactions on the edge
Analysis of large data sets in the
Hadoop ecosystem
Transactional systems are still at the
heart
Existing systems have to be
leveraged rather than replaced in
order to move forward efficiently

Integration back to Data Warehouse
John Rhymer of Forrester talks about Hybrid Extend
• Build out new digital capability as an extension of existing apps
• Leverage what you have
We support that as well or better than any DBMS system and we do it more
cost effectively

16. Why Dev/Ops and Micro-services?
When product becomes digital, the innovation rate accelerates and competition
is continuous
• What’s that mean?
• Competition comes out with a new feature on their self-service web page and you have to
respond, not tomorrow, today
• You have to differentiate on an ongoing basis because your competition is always
catching up
• The positive side is that you can add value in new ways and deliver it to
the market place faster pulling revenue towards you
Micro-services makes the unit of update contained and easily updated
New Dev/Ops models like Continuous Integration and Delivery (CICD) allow
operations and developers to work together and deliver a stream of updates
and new innovation. Daily updates and new capabilities.

18. Value Drivers for Hybrid Cloud Management of the
Database
• IT Operations need to manage, control and understand resource utilizations
• DBAs need to define templates for deployments
• End users require self-service and easy to use interfaces
• Organizations require support for multiple clouds
• Production deployments need elastic scalability and auto backup
• DevOps motions require PaaS integration
