From Ground to Cloud: PostgreSQL with Aiven and Talon.One
Date: 2025-05-08
Time: 12:15–12:50
Room: Madrid
Level: Intermediate
Join us on a behind-the-scenes journey of how PostgreSQL thrives in the cloud with Aiven — and how Talon.One, a global leader in promotion and loyalty solutions, transformed its database architecture along the way. In this talk, we'll explore the evolution of PostgreSQL at Aiven: how we’ve scaled, optimized, and contributed to its open-source ecosystem while building a fully managed, production-ready cloud experience. We’ll deep-dive into our collaboration with Talon.One, who faced the real-world challenge of migrating and scaling mission-critical workloads — all while maintaining high availability, performance, and developer agility. From multi-cloud deployment strategies and observability practices to performance tuning and operational lessons, this session will offer both technical insights and honest reflections on what it takes to move a complex PostgreSQL workload to the cloud — and keep it running like a well-oiled machine.
