📆💡 Event Overview

At Datadog, diversity means making a conscious effort to reflect the many experiences and identities of the world outside, while treating each other with fairness and without bias. Inclusion is the choice we make every day to foster an environment where people of all backgrounds not only belong but excel, so that together, as a company, we can succeed.

Making it Simple to Do the Right Thing with Postgres

This talk will explore how we approached building a fully managed postgres PaaS for Datadog engineers. Standing on the shoulders of giants we will talk about how we leveraged the lessons learned of past incidents, ops toil, and user feedback to simplify how we manage postgres as operators and make it simple for users build services on top of postgres in a reliable way.
