PDXPUG February Meeting Recap

Mark & I left David Wheeler in charge of the PDXPUG February meeting while we were at SCALE last week.

Here’s David’s report:
—
This week Dave Kerr discussed using Bucardo mutli-master replication to gradually migrate a production database from EC2 to RDS. This work allowed his team to switch back and forth between the two systems with the assurance that the data would be the same on both. It also allowed them a fallback in case the RDS database didn’t work out: the S3 system would still be there. The discussion allowed those present to complain about Bucardo, EC2, RDS, and the French.

PDXPUG: February meeting in two weeks

When: 6-8pm Thu Feb 19, 2015
Where: Iovation
Who: David Kerr
What: Using Bucardo to Migrate your Pg database to RDS with minimal downtime

As a followup to January’s RDS discussion, Dave Kerr works through strategies to move your existing Postgres database into RDS.

Using Bucardo and Master/Master Replication we can achieve a migration to RDS with minimal or no downtime.

Dave will show some tools and techniques so help facilitate this transition as well as go over the idiosyncrasies of using Bucardo with RDS.
