Re: PDXPUG: January meeting next week

When: 6-8pm Thu Jan 15, 2015
Where: Iovation
Who: Gabrielle Roth
What: RDS Postgres

Amazon integrated Postgres into their general Relational Database Services
(RDS) offerings July 1, 2014. RDS offers automatic failover, scalability,
and easy configuration, plus Amazon handles all the patching and upgrades
for you! Their SDK supports many languages and includes a robust CLI, if
you want to automate management of your deployments. They also support
several popular Postgres extensions.

Of course, since it's a managed service, you can't do everything you might
expect or want to. In this talk, I'll discuss the fun, the quirky, and the
downright maddening features I've discovered working with production RDS
deployments. Come find out what it's like to use RDS Postgres day-to-day.

Our meeting will be held at Iovation, on the 32nd floor of the US Bancorp
Tower at 111 SW 5th (5th & Oak). It's right on the Green & Yellow Max
lines. Underground bike parking is available in the parking garage;
outdoors all around the block in the usual spots. No bikes in the office,
sorry!

Elevators open at 5:45 and building security closes access to the floor at
6:30.

The building is on the Green & Yellow Max lines. Underground bike parking
is available in the parking garage; outdoors all around the block in the
usual spots.

See you there!

This just in:

Pg Core Team member Magnus Hagander is here in town, and will be attending
our meeting. Stop on by and say hello!

Is this talk getting recorded? It sounds pretty freaking awesome.
