Barman, past, present, and future of a pioneer community project

October 21–24
Level: Beginner

Barman is one of the first Backup and Recovery management tool for Postgres, released as an open-source tool by 2ndQuadrant, with lots of adopters in the last decade.

In this talk, we will go over the history of Barman as a community project, from its beginning to the current state of affairs. We will be showing the great achievements, the pain-point moments, and the future.

We hope to: * Enlighten people with Backup and Recovery insights (yes, we will talk about Backups) * Share how the teams have interacted with the community, balancing the customer requests with community proposals * Go over these 13 years of open source development * Describe where we plan to take the project in the future, in terms of development features, and engagement with the community

We hope to leave an itch to either join our community or start your own community project, preferably in the Postgres ecosystem.
