Postgres 9.2 – The Database You Helped Build
When I was running the Postgres databases for reddit, I was constantly seeking people who could teach me better ways to tune Postgres on AWS.  Most people I would meet would just regurgitate what anyone could learn with a day or two of googling and reading.<p>At one point I got scared by the prospect that I might be an expert on Postgres on AWS, because frankly I didn't know all that much about it and thought we were doomed if that was really the case.<p>Then I went over had lunch with the Heroku team, and it was eye opening.  These guys truly knew how to run Postgres on AWS (and presumably still do).<p>I can't think of another org that is moving Postgres on AWS forward better than Heroku.
