Short summary of my PGCONF.EU 2018 conference

So it’s nearly the end of the conference, where I met lot’s of people from the Postgres community, customers, EDB partner and also contributor/developer of Postgres. During the 3 days I had also the chance to follow many technical sessions and I will give you a short feedback of my preferred sessions.
If you want to have the details of the sessions go the conference website https://www.postgresql.eu/events/pgconfeu2018/schedule

Thanks Amit for the presentation of the new storage engine ZHEAP, and for the information sharing. Directly after the session with Daniel we started to test this new storage engine. If you want to know more about this topic see my blog about ZHEAP.
