  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.

Data Compliance in Switzerland: What you need to know

In French on 28.10.2025, in German on 30.10.2025

David Raedler, PhD, Attorney-at-law, MP in the Vaud Parliament, Member of the FCWI (Federal Commission)

Due to the increasing frequency of data security issues and attacks, it is essential to understand the applicable data protection obligations and principles, or data compliance. This is especially important since the recent revision of the Federal Data Protection Act has increased the risk of personal sanctions for not complying with its rules. This brief presentation will provide an overview of the relevant rules and principles.

Data Masking Options in Oracle, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL

In French/English on 28.10.2025, in German/English on 30.10.2025

Clemens Bleile, Technoloy Leader Oracle, dbi services
Nathan Courtine, Technoloy Leader Microsoft, dbi services
Daniel Westermann, Technoloy Leader Open Infrastructure, dbi services

Masking data has become a common requirement in many companies, especially when test or development systems are loaded with production data or are cloned from production systems. The reason is clear: Developers and testers should work with the same amount of data as in production, otherwise they cannot properly test. In this session we’ll look at what Oracle, SQL Server and PostgreSQL provide in this area. By the end of this session, you should have a clear overview of what is possible and what is not.

pgvector : Why is PostgreSQL at the center of the AI workflows ?

In French

Adrien Obernesser, Open Infrastructure Consultant

PostgreSQL has a decades-long history of handling multidimensional data, with geospatial searches through the PostGIS extension. This sets the stage for the leap from a few dimensions (2D or 3D) to thousands of dimensions with the pgvector extension. It allows AI/ML systems to run directly on PostgreSQL and is an example of the richness of the PostgreSQL Open Source ecosystem, providing robust support for storing and querying high-dimensional embeddings.
In this talk, we’ll explore how vector-based Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a natural progression from standard SQL queries and full-text searches. We will demonstrate how large language models (LLMs) interact with pgvector, how embeddings are stored, and which indexing strategies work best for high-dimensional data. Join us to learn how pgvector can help future-proof your business by supporting recommendation systems and more.

Accepting to get old, generation conflicts explained with CloudNativePG as an example

In English

Daniel Westermann, Principal Consultant

Initially this talk was planned to highlight the benefits of K8s operators in contrast to the traditional way of managing infrastructures when it comes to PostgreSQL. While planning the talk, it became clear that there is much more about this. A new generation is coming up, and some of us are getting older while others are getting really old (me?). While each generation has its own ways of working and thinking, none of them is either better or worse than the other. We should learn from each other, adapt what was proven to be good, throw away what was proven to be wrong. The core technical concepts stay the same: I/O, network, scheduling, infrastructures in general and most importantly: Experience. Building experience is the way forward, and the only way to survive and stay successful in a rapidly changing environment.
