Optimizing PostgreSQL for the Cloud with Database Optimized Storage

Explore the powerful efficiency upgrade of OCI Database with PostgreSQL in this 16-minute video from Oracle. Learn about the addition of a Database Optimized Storage layer, which brings higher performance, flexible scaling, and reduced cluster management to enterprises. Discover the limitations of vanilla PostgreSQL in the cloud and how Database Optimized Storage (DbOS) addresses these issues. Understand concepts such as Write-Ahead Logging (WAL), Log Sequence Numbers (LSN), and Zero Recovery Point Objective (RPO). Dive into the benefits of the database-optimized file system, consistent reads, and fast failover mechanisms. Gain insights into achieving high performance and handling torn writes in PostgreSQL deployments. By the end of this video, grasp key takeaways on optimizing PostgreSQL for cloud environments using Oracle's innovative solutions.
