Philly Postgres

Speaker
Jonah Harris, Founder of NEXTGRES

Abstract
You've been lied to! You've been told to keep logic out of the database, to trust your app layer, and to avoid stored procedures at all costs. That advice is wrong--and it's costing you.

This talk exposes the real reason your system is slow: it's not the database, it's your over-engineered stack. We'll show how moving business logic into Postgres leads to better performance, fewer round-trips, and lower CPU usage. You'll see direct benchmarks comparing the same logic written client-side and inside the database. The difference is dramatic. We'll break down real-world examples and cover how to structure, test, and version stored procedures in a way that keeps them clean and maintainable.

If you’ve been told stored procedures are an anti-pattern, it’s time to question that belief. Come see why doing more in your database might be the best decision you make for your app.

Join us on Tuesday, April 22, at 6:00 PM EDT at Cesium for an engaging talk by Jonah.
