Zero downtime: Franck Pachot on his 'migration' from Oracle to PostgreSQL20 Aug31 min

We catch up with Franck Pachot, a longtime database community figure who has moved through Oracle, CERN, Yugabyte, MongoDB and, most recently, the PostgreSQL team at Microsoft. Hear stories from Franck's varied career, learn what makes technical content genuinely useful to developers, how Postgres's MVCC and extension model differs from Oracle's, and what's really going on with Microsoft's growing family of PostgreSQL offerings (Flexible Server, Horizon DB, and DocumentDB).
