Postgres, Postgres Everywhere

​How far can we push Postgres before we need something else?

​Postgres keeps winning, but can it really scale? Three builders who push Postgres far beyond its original design talk about scaling, architecture, and what comes next.

​Speakers:

• ​Lev Kokotov (Founder at PgDog)

• ​Stas Kelvich (Principal Software Engineer at Databricks and co-founder at Neon)

• ​Qian Li (co-founder and CEO at DBOS) as a moderator

​What we’ll cover:

• ​Why Postgres? The stories behind PgDog, Neon, and DBOS and why Postgres keeps beating the alternatives

• ​Can it scale? Sharding vs. storage-compute separation, scaling 100x, and when one instance isn’t enough

• ​Engineering lessons: the hardest problems and surprises from building on Postgres

• ​What’s next: Postgres in five years, AI agent workloads, and a few bold predictions

​Whether you run Postgres at scale or wonder if you’ll need to, you’ll leave with practical insight from the people building its future.
