Postgres Project Update - Simon Riggs
The PostgreSQL project is going places, and at an increasing pace. With rapid development cycles and new major releases being rolled out each year, we will aim to identify some of the reasons why Postgres is gaining popularity amongst developers. We will demonstrate increasing adoption rates and why people are gravitating towards open source PostgreSQL for mission critical use cases.
