Speakers:  Jobin Augustine

Percona is proud to sponsor PGConf India 2026 as a Gold Sponsor, taking place from March 11th to March 13th, 2026, at the Sheraton Grand Hotel at Brigade Gateway in Bengaluru, India.

We are excited to share that a Percona expert will be delivering a technical session during the conference:

  • External Proxies and Poolers - A reality check in todays tech stack by Jobin Augustine (Accepted for March 12 – March 13, 2026).

PGConf India is a premier event dedicated to growing the PostgreSQL community in India. The conference provides training and resources that support PostgreSQL adoption, covering everything from deep technical internals to real-world case studies from startups and large enterprises alike.

The event is designed for a wide audience, and Percona is eager to connect with:

  • DBAs already using or evaluating PostgreSQL.
  • Developers building applications of any scale.
  • Decision-makers assessing open-source database options for their organizations.
  • PostgreSQL contributors and community members.
  • Open-source enthusiasts interested in the PostgreSQL ecosystem.

Perconians Jobin Augustine and Ashish Mehra will be on-site to share knowledge and help teams learn how to run PostgreSQL reliably at scale.

We look forward to connecting with the community in Bengaluru to share insights and help drive the future of open-source databases! ∎
