Scaling from Startup to Success: Unexpected Database Challenge
Friday November 8, 2024 11:40am - 12:20pm EET
ScreenX
This presentation explores the evolving database needs of a rapidly growing startup. We follow a fictional company's journey from a very small team to a company with large user base facing regulatory obligations with a single PostgreSQL database.
Discover how database access, migrations, and backups requirements change unexpectedly as customer expectations and data volume increase.

Practical insights for engineers and product owners to ensure long-term success.

Key takeaways
- External-facing applications: No migration access or responsibilities.
- Long-running (multiple days) migrations: Acceptable, no user or feature delivery impact.
- Read-only replica offloading: Multiple database connections in the application.
- PostgreSQL connection scaling: Connection pooler for primary instance.
- Replication and backups: Complementary, as delayed replicas can help in some cases
