Scaling fashionably: From Startup to Scale at Zalando
Date: 2014-10-23
Time: 12:50–13:40
Room: Renacimiento I
Level: Intermediate
PostgreSQL plays a crucial role in Zalando's infrastructure, storing everything from customer information to article data and reliably backing our real-time warehouse management systems. Starting from version 9.0 we have been using every release of PostgreSQL in production and loving it more and more with every next release.
I want to share how we deploy, configure, monitor and use PostgreSQL databases to power the fastest growing and the biggest fashion e-commerce platform in Europe.
Among the challenges, I am going to talk about are:
- accessing sharded and distributed data;
- managing hundreds of database changes done by hundreds of developers every week;
- running our databases with minimal downtimes;
- configuring, controlling and monitoring more than 100 master database instances and hundreds of replicas in several data centers.
