PostgreSQL Advanced: Scalability and Sharding (Citus) Training Course

Gain mastery over AI integration in Postgres through this instructor-led live training in Bulgaria. You will learn to configure necessary extensions, implement pgvector embeddings, and link LLMs for instant insights. Furthermore, you will optimise queries and construct intelligent systems within a practical, hands-on live-lab setting.

This 21-hour instructor-led training in Bulgaria guides data engineers and DBAs in integrating AI models into PostgreSQL. Learners will develop the skills to deploy optimized architectures, implement vector search, and enforce strict governance, thereby ensuring secure and high-performance enterprise-grade AI solutions.

This course explores the core aspects of PostgreSQL server extensions and libraries designed to embed artificial intelligence capabilities into database environments. Key topics include similarity and semantic search utilizing embedding vectors, Text-to-SQL query processing, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Participants will acquire skills in installing PgVector and PgAI, generating and loading vector embeddings, constructing vector indexes, implementing semantic search and RAG mechanisms, and building Text-to-SQL applications with LangChain using Python or JavaScript. Practical demonstrations and hands-on exercises are integrated to solidify theoretical understanding and technical proficiency.

This module delves into the core mechanics of PostgreSQL server extensions that facilitate the integration of AI techniques into database systems. It places particular emphasis on similarity and semantic search utilizing embedding vectors. Learners will acquire the skills necessary to install PgVector, generate and load vector embeddings, build vector indexes, and apply semantic search strategies. Through a combination of demonstrative examples and practical application, the course reinforces essential concepts and operational expertise.

This practical course is dedicated to the essential aspects of performance tuning in PostgreSQL. Learners will acquire skills in analysing query execution, refining indexing strategies, fine-tuning memory and system settings, and effectively overseeing workloads. Through real-world scenarios and hands-on exercises, the curriculum illustrates techniques for pinpointing and eliminating bottlenecks across both database and system layers.

Designed to impart the vital knowledge for installing, configuring, and managing PostgreSQL databases, this course guides you through user security, backup and restore procedures, log management, and parameter tuning. Through practical application, you will execute real-world administrative duties and prepare for complex topics such as performance enhancement and replication.

In this instructor-led, live training session held in Bulgaria (on-site or remote), participants will gain knowledge of the general and advanced aspects of PostgreSQL. The course includes administration, performance tuning, advanced development, and replication, delivered through a series of hands-on, live-lab exercises covering setup, configuration, testing, deployment, and troubleshooting.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Utilize advanced administration techniques to configure and manage a PostgreSQL server.
• Optimize the database and queries to maximize performance.
• Replicate and scale a PostgreSQL server.

This live, instructor-led training in Bulgaria is designed to prepare advanced DevOps professionals and database engineers for enterprise-scale PostgresAI implementation. Participants will gain proficiency in database cloning, AI-driven query optimization, and comprehensive monitoring through hands-on exercises in a live-lab setting.

This module offers a comprehensive deep dive into PostgreSQL replication, high availability strategies, and cluster management. Learners will gain hands-on experience building and overseeing multi-node infrastructures, setting up automated failover mechanisms, and evaluating load balancing and connection pooling frameworks. The training incorporates practical replication exercises and real-world recovery simulations.

This instructor-led live training in Bulgaria (online or onsite) targets intermediate-level developers and administrators seeking to utilize the latest features and improvements in PostgreSQL 16.
