PostgreSQL Advanced: Scalability and Sharding (Citus) Training Course

Gain mastery over AI integration in Postgres through this live, instructor-led training in the Netherlands. Learn to configure extensions, utilize pgvector for embeddings, and connect LLMs for instant insights. Refine your queries and develop intelligent systems in a practical, hands-on lab setting.

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

This course explores the core principles of PostgreSQL server extensions and libraries designed to integrate artificial intelligence into database systems. Key topics include semantic search using embedding vectors, Text-to-SQL queries, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Participants will learn how to install PgVector and PgAI, generate and load vector embeddings, create vector indexes, implement semantic search and RAG functionalities, and build Text-to-SQL applications with LangChain using Python or JavaScript. Practical demonstrations and hands-on exercises support the mastery of these essential concepts and skills.

This course explores the fundamentals of PostgreSQL server extensions designed to incorporate AI capabilities into database environments. It focuses on similarity and semantic search using embedding vectors. Participants will learn how to install PgVector, generate and load vector embeddings, build vector indexes, and implement semantic search workflows. The material includes demonstrations and practical exercises to solidify key concepts and hands-on skills.

This hands-on course concentrates on the practical execution of performance tuning in PostgreSQL. It equips participants with the knowledge to analyse query execution, refine indexing, adjust memory and system parameters, and monitor workloads with precision. Through real-world case studies and live practical sessions, attendees learn to detect and resolve bottlenecks at both the database and system levels.

This course equips participants with the foundational skills necessary to install, configure, and administer PostgreSQL databases with confidence. You will explore critical aspects of database management, including user security protocols, backup and restore procedures, log management, and the optimization of core parameters. By engaging in hands-on exercises, learners will gain practical experience in real-world administrative tasks, building a solid foundation for advanced concepts such as performance tuning and replication.

In this instructor-led, live training session (the Netherlands provided onsite or remotely), participants will explore the core and advanced features of PostgreSQL. The curriculum includes administration, performance tuning, advanced development, and replication, delivered through a series of hands-on, live laboratory exercises focused on setup, configuration, testing, deployment, and troubleshooting.

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

• Apply advanced administration techniques to configure and manage a PostgreSQL server.
• Optimize database structures and queries for maximum performance.
• Replicate and scale a PostgreSQL server.

This instructor-led, live training in the Netherlands empowers advanced DevOps professionals and database engineers to implement PostgresAI at enterprise scale. Participants will master database cloning, AI-driven query optimization, and monitoring through hands-on exercises in a live-lab environment.

This module offers a comprehensive exploration of PostgreSQL replication, high availability, and cluster management. Learners will construct and oversee multi-node environments, set up automated failover processes, and examine load balancing and connection pooling strategies. Practical sessions include live replication exercises and disaster recovery simulations.
