Run PostgreSQL in Warp Speed Using NVMe/TCP in the Cloud – Sagi Volkov, Lightbits
PostgreSQL as a SQL engine can accommodate a very high-transaction rate, but as your data grows and the number of connections and queries increases, there is a challenge for the storage to keep up with the SQL engine.
To the rescue comes NVMe over TCP (or NVMe/TCP). Developed by Lightbits Labs in 2016 and donated to the Linux community, it is the next evaluation of using NVMe based storage over TCP Fabric. NVMe/TCP simplifies how you interact with remote NVMe devices (targets) and allows your PostgreSQL storage to consume fast storage very easily.
In this session I will explain the core concept of the NVMe/TCP protocol, current storage providers that can use it, how you can consume it in Kubernetes (super easy), and discuss the possibilities of using NVMe/TCP in the cloud.
The session will also include a performance comparison of a few storage that are available in AWS and even a live demo of how PostgreSQL can run super fast – warp speed fast – in AWS.
