This talk was given at the Boston OPenStack meetup to introduce Postgres Plus Cloud Database. This is a product that has built a convenient cloud infrastructure around PostgreSQL. If offers quick provision, autoscaling thresholds and both vertical and horizontal scaling abilities. This product was initially introduced on AWS but has recently been ported to OpenStack. We will talk about the issue faced in going between these two platforms and how one can maintain a truly cloud centric product that runs on multiple IaaS platforms.
