Simpycity 2.0.0 released (An ORM in Python)

What Simpycity Is

Simpycity is an object-relational mapper. It seamlessly maps PostgreSQL query
and function result sets to Python classes and class attributes.

It allows for the easy and rapid development of query- and
stored procedure-based data representations. Simpycity leverages PostgreSQL's
powerful composite type system, and the advanced type handling of the psycopg2
database access library.

What Simpycity is Not

Simpycity is not a SQL generator and does not attempt …

PgConf.US: 2016 Kicking the donkey of PostgreSQL Replication

My slides from my presentation and PgConf.US 2016:

Spreading the conference love

The PostgreSQL community has a lot of conferences in the United States:

PgUS United States PostgreSQL Conference
Citus Data PgConfSV
PgUS SCALE PgDay (which as of 2016 is really a conference within a conference)
PostgresOpen
EDB PostgresVision

And that doesn't come even close to the number of various conferences in Europe.

While attending the hallway track, I was talking to …

PostgreSQL, FOSS, SCALE, NYCPUG, SPI, LFNW and Ruby oh my!

If you are interested in seeing my considered opinion I will also be training on the same topic at PgConf.US. I am also speaking on PostgreSQL Replication and finally, I was told that I am running the Lightning …

.Org developer meeting @ FOSDEM

A lot of people probably don't know this but PostgreSQL does plan. It is true that we take all contributions and they are reviewed based on their merit but it is also true that the community tries very hard to have a road map of some sort. Those road maps are created by the more prolific contributors in the community.

In the past there was a yearly Developer Meeting. That …

Scale 14x, PostgreSQL mini-conf, PgConf.US and NYCPUG

It is really not fair to call it a mini-conf. The Scale 14x, PostgreSQL Day attendance was larger than every conference except PgConf.US (EDIT: in the United States/Canada). It is a great opportunity to integrate with a wider community that is diverse, technologically capable and at the front lines of production installations.

I spoke on Backups: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. I had over 100 attendees in …
