I n this talk\, Buoyant engineer Carl Lerche will introduce you to Conduit \, its design philosophy\, how it’s used to add reliability\, security\, and visibility to Kubernetes applications\, our motivations for writing the Conduit data plane in Rust\, and how to get involved. \;\n \; \nSecond Talk: Stateful is Hard: Hooking Apps up to Managed DBs \;\n& #13\;\nKubernetes lets us write crazy-powerful apps these days\, and all three clouds will host it for you in some shape or form now. The result is that our apps are mostly portable\, but there's more work to do in t his space. Aaron Schlesinger of the Microsoft Azure Containers group exp lains. \;\n \;\nDatabases are hard to maintain if you run them in Kubernetes. Same with pub/sub systems\, or any combination of stateful a nd data really. Sometimes we just want to hook our apps up to the cloud equivalents of these things\, so we don't have to manage them. How do we do _that_ in a portable way? Enter the Open Service Broker (OSB) API an d Kubernetes Service Catalog. \;\n \;\nLearn how to connect your a pps to all your favorite cloud services without ever opening the portal or using the CLI. It's the same OSB API for all the clouds\, and the sam e Kubernetes Service Catalog resources for any cluster. We're getting to a place where you can get the services you need without caring what clo ud your app runs on. \;\n \;\n**RSVP Required for this venue.

U ltimately\, encouraging the adoption of top-down modeling as a flexible and forward-looking approach that can better meet the evolving needs of businesses while delivering tangible value. \;\n \;\nRSVP for Goo gle Meet link to be sent in advance\, and available on the Eventbrite On line Event Page.\n\nTags: data\, datagovernance\, datamodels\, databases \, datamodeling\, cloud\, DAMA\, datapdx\, governance\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250480712 URL:https://datapdx.org/2023/09/29/october-2023-benefits-of-top-down-data -modeling/ SUMMARY:Data PDX: "Benefits of Top-down Data Modeling" with SqlDBM LOCATION:Google Meet: false SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240127T214314Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240213T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240213T173000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240127T214314Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240127T214314Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250480942 DESCRIPTION:Streamline your app development with a local-first database. \;\nIn this workshop we'll build a React app together\, implementi ng basic data models in Fireproof\, with automatic sync across devices u sing PartyKit. Once the basics are in place\, we can explore using Firep roof in specific use cases\, whether it's encrypted content management o r offline inventory controls. We have a handful of starter kits you can use to fast-forward to working LLM chatbots\, content editors\, file upl oads\, etc. \;\n \;\nWorkshop participants should be familiar with Node.js and NPM or Yarn\, React\, and Git. We'll be working in VS Code but you can use whatever editor you prefer. \;\n \;\n**[RSVP on M eetup.com](https://www.meetup.com/portland-reactjs/events/298815902/?utm _medium=referral&\;utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal& \;utm_source=link)** \;\n*Space is limited\, RSVP early and remembe r to bring your laptop!* \;\n \;\n**-=== Schedule ===-** \;\n 5:40-6:00 pm - Arrivals \;\n6:00 - 7:00pm - Workshop ReactJs + Fire proof \;\n7:00 - 8:00pm - Social hour &\; Networking \;\n \;\n \;\n**-======-** \;\nIf you are new to the group\, welcome!

This talk shows the major features that make ClickHouse popular for real-time analytics and provides a jum ping off point to build your own apps. We’ll explain internals of ClickH ouse and provide explicit guidance on when to reach for it. (And when no t to.\;) We will also demo new work from Altinity that adds separable co mpute and storage using shared Apache Iceberg tables. We’ll include thou ghts on design patterns for using PostgreSQL and ClickHouse productively together. \;\n \;\nClickhouse is a horizontally scaling columnar database that absolutely rips. Huge datasets\, JSON\, partitioning\, sh arding\, aggregations\, JOINs: Clickhouse handles massive queries in mil liseconds. We are so excited to host Robert and have him introduce anot her open source database Clickhouse. Robert has been working on database s since 1982\, from pre-relational systems through modern analytic DBMS\ , with a focus on distributed systems and transaction processing He has worked principally with open source databases since 2006 and Kubernetes since 2018. His day job is running Altinity\, a ClickHouse vendor. \; \n \;\nLooking forward to seeing you all there.\n\nTags: databases\, postgres\, OLA\, column store\, big data\, sql\, OLAP\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482180 URL:https://pdxpug.wordpress.com/2025/08/11/pdxpug-sept-4th-oss-database- spotlight-clickhouse/ SUMMARY:Portland PostgreSQL user group introduces Clickhouse LOCATION:3131 N Vancouver Ave · Portland\, OR: false SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
