    From dashboards to decisions: how to automate health reports with PMM
    (45 min)
    Modern organizations talk about RPO/RTO, security baselines and capacity planning, but on these often remain PowerPoint ideas instead of measurable realities. In this demo-driven session, we set up two a PostgreSQL infrastructure and build a “Postgres Health Score” across five pillars: backup, security, capacity, performance, and future-proofing. Starting from a “perfect world” where an organization has clearly defined policies (thresholds, backup strategy, data classification, DDL rules), we translate those policies into checks, metrics, alerts, and scheduled reports using PMM and PromQL. We will then deliberately break the system live and watch the health score drop. We will demonstrate how infra-admins, DBAs, service desk operators, and management can use the same monitoring tool and automate reports system to detect issues, prioritize work, and make informed decisions about the PostgreSQL platform.

    The missing piece in PostgreSQL: TDE. What options do you have?
    (45 min)
    While community PostgreSQL comes with a lot of features for enterprises, one piece is still missing: TDE (Transparent data encryption), which means encryption at rest. There are plenty of discussions around this on the PostgreSQL mailing lists, but the implementation details are not yet agreed on. The only options you currently have is either to encrypt the file systems PostgreSQL uses to store the data, or to use a commercial distribution of PostgreSQL. In this talk we will have a look at the most popular commercial implementation of TDE so you can decide for your own if it is worth the money.
