Serverless is the IN thing nowadays in database. Looks like the next technical evolution in databases. This talk will look at Serverless from a PostgreSQL perspective and will touch on the following aspects:

  • basic definition and consideration of serverless, why now, etc.
  • concept of compute PG node
  • we'd need to separate out the wal server activity
  • we'd need to separate out the relation page server activity
  • considerations for serving VM, FSM and SLRU pages
  • serverless backups (into cloud), how they should look like
  • brief about current serverless offerings
