Key Takeaway

The PostgreSQL track at SCaLE 24x is accepting talk proposals through November 1, 2026, for a two-day community event focused on production operations, internals, and cloud-native deployments.

Summary

The PostgreSQL project has announced that its dedicated track at SCaLE 24x, running April 1-2, 2027, at the Pasadena Convention Center, will close its call for papers on November 1, 2026. The two-day PostgreSQL@SCaLE event is part of the larger SCaLE 24x conference (April 1-4) and targets database administrators, backend developers, SREs, and Kubernetes practitioners running PostgreSQL in production environments.

The program structure includes a full-day training track on Thursday and technical talks on Friday covering PostgreSQL internals, performance tuning, replication, reliability engineering, and modern workloads including AI and cloud-native deployments. An Ask Me Anything session will provide direct access to core contributors and experienced operators. Submissions must be tagged 'PostgreSQL' to reach the dedicated program committee.

Event structure and submission requirements

  • Training track: One full-day Thursday session dedicated to hands-on PostgreSQL education led by experienced practitioners, distinct from the main conference talks.
  • Technical scope: Talks cover internals, performance optimization, replication architectures, reliability patterns, tooling ecosystems, and emerging workloads in AI and cloud-native environments.
  • Target audience: Explicitly designed for production operators including DBAs, SREs, platform engineers, and Kubernetes practitioners, not exclusively core developers.
  • Submission mechanics: Proposals must be tagged 'PostgreSQL' in the SCaLE CfP system to be routed to the PostgreSQL@SCaLE program committee for review.
  • Timeline: CfP closes November 1, 2026, giving speakers approximately five months advance notice before the April 1-2, 2027 event dates.

Why it matters

Community-run PostgreSQL events at established conferences like SCaLE sustain knowledge transfer between core contributors and production operators outside the major PostgreSQL Europe and PGConf series. For the Linux and open-source infrastructure ecosystem, this track provides a West Coast venue for practical operational knowledge that directly feeds into how PostgreSQL deployments run on Linux systems in cloud-native and Kubernetes environments.
