Talk: Building a Postgres DBaaS with open source

Speaker: Max Englander, Software Engineer at PlanetScale

PlanetScale for Postgres is a database as a service, launched in July of 2025, composed largely of open source materials. In this talk, we'll discuss how we approached this project, what factors informed our technology choices, some of the nuances and sharp edges we've encountered because of those choices, and some interesting ways that we've stitched these components together into a cohesive system.

Stop by our booth to meet the team, see demos, and learn about scalable database solutions.
