Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres team at FOSSASIA Summit 2025
The Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres team is delighted to be heading to FOSSASIA Summit 2025 in Bangkok, where Nishchay Kothari and I will be presenting on cutting-edge PostgreSQL innovations – he will be talking about PostgreSQL pgroll, and I will be presenting on learned indexes.
This annual event will take place on 13-15 March 2025, and is a premier gathering of open-source and PostgreSQL enthusiasts in the Asia-Pacific region, making it the perfect stage for thought leadership, collaboration, and new opportunities.
Nishchay's session: PostgreSQL pgroll – Zero-downtime, reversible schema migrations
Nishchay will be presenting on pgroll, an innovative approach to PostgreSQL schema changes and rollbacks for enterprises seeking smoother, low-downtime schema migration. For these cases, pgroll is gaining traction as a practical solution for managing PostgreSQL version transitions more efficiently. The tool's key features that Nishchay will be discussing include:
- Zero-downtime schema migrations
- Simultaneous schema versions
- Automatic data backfilling
- Instant rollback
- Broad compatibility
- Cross-platform support
Gary's session: Exploring the benefits of learned indexes in PostgreSQL – Theory and implementation
Meanwhile, I will be delivering a session on learned indexes and their potential application within PostgreSQL. This approach leverages machine learning to optimize indexing strategies, and has the potential to redefine database performance and efficiency.
My talk will explore how PostgreSQL could benefit from these techniques and what challenges need to be overcome to integrate them effectively. I will delve into the fundamentals of learned indexes, examine their potential to either replace or enhance traditional indexing methods, and discuss both the advantages—such as decreased memory usage, minimized storage requirements, and quicker search times for specific queries—and the challenges and compromises involved in incorporating learned indexes into PostgreSQL, where maintaining durability, adaptability, and compatibility with current query optimization techniques is essential.
Attendees will come away with a comprehensive understanding of learned indexes’ potential benefits and limitations in real-world PostgreSQL environments.
Fujitsu team engagement with the PostgreSQL Community
Beyond the presentations, the team will also be focused on strengthening ties in the Asia-Pacific region, engaging with PostgreSQL contributors, enterprise users, and potential partners. With growing interest in Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres, this event presents an opportunity to connect with organizations looking for secure, high-performance PostgreSQL solutions.
FOSSASIA Summit will also serve as a platform to explore collaborations and market expansion strategies for the Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres team. The Asia-Pacific PostgreSQL community is vibrant and expanding, making this an essential event to foster relationships and identify new opportunities.
We’ll be sharing insights and key takeaways from the event, so stay tuned for updates.
We look forward to seeing you there!
