Cloud Foundry is an open-source Platform as a Service project which is, that serves as the workhorse of the SAP Business Technology Platform, powered by PostgreSQL.
Database Performance is crucial for Cloud Foundry because it has direct effects to the performance and scalability of the installed platform which is crucial for its operations and high-demanding enterprise users.
Consequently, SAP contributes actively to optimizations of queries for PostgreSQL in Cloud Foundry to operate the Cloud Platform at a large scale. Over the years the Cloud Foundry team at SAP, gained experience in how to set up and run reliable and performant cloud foundry installations on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Alibaba Cloud. From outside the offerings looks similar, but you do not get similar offerings: This is especially a challenge in unified automation and monitoring of PostgreSQL databases on these infrastructures.
Attendees will learn about
- Cloud Foundry in general and the usage of PostgreSQL in this open-source project.
- Running PostgreSQL on different cloud infrastructures -> comparison of the different service offerings.
- PostgreSQL optimizations for large scale cloud foundry installations in the code and in the database server. It is the foundation for some open-source contributions of SAP in this area.
- Zero-downtime Schema Migrations in high load scenarios
- Some true live stories about PostgreSQL major version upgrades which inexpertly caused problems.
