What is Patroni, really?
24 November
Patroni is widely recognized as a premier high-availability solution for PostgreSQL, but what really makes it tick?
In this talk, as the Patroni maintainers, we’ll dive deep into its architecture, core principles, and the engineering decisions that keep it running smoothly. We’ll share firsthand insights into its internals, unexpected operational challenges, and design choices — both brilliant and painful. Furthermore, we will discuss why, despite evolving developments in the PostgreSQL high-availability ecosystem, Patroni remains a crucial standard, and explore where the project is headed next.
Whether you're a user, contributor, or just curious about high-availability magic, this session will give you a fresh look at Patroni beyond the documentation, explain what Patroni really is and why it is still a thing.
