November 11, 2014
I just returned from two weeks in Russia, and I am happy to report that Postgres is experiencing strong growth there. I have regularly complained that Russian Postgres adoption was lagging, but the sanctions have tipped the scales and moved Russia into Postgres hyper-adoption mode. New activities include:
- Postgres Day in Saint Petersburg in July
- Moscow meetings in September and October with 180 attendees
- October Postgres Day in Saint Petersburg
- Strong Postgres presence and booth at Highload++
- 2015 conferences in Moscow and Saint Petersburg
As part of my visit I spoke at EnterpriseDB partner LANIT. The hour-long presentation was recorded and covers:
- Postgres community development process
- Comparison of Postgres to proprietary databases
- Future direction of Postgres
