PostgreSQL® training

Since 1999, we have been managing PostgreSQL databases on behalf of our clients at the PostgreSQL® Competence Center, right down to the code level. It is precisely this knowledge that our consultants share in our training courses: no secondhand slides, but rather what actually works in a production environment.
We conduct live training in small groups, typically online and, upon request, at your location. Please refer to the specific session details for more information.

PostgreSQL Training – Administration & Operations

The foundation for secure operation: You’ll learn how to set up PostgreSQL on your own, secure it, and keep it running in a production environment. Topics include installation and setup, configuration and architecture, user and permission management, connection control, logical and physical backups with pgBackRest, physical replication, an overview of high-availability solutions, log file analysis, monitoring, and minor and major version upgrades.

Member of the Open Alliance for PostgreSQL Education

PostgreSQL does not have a vendor that sets educational standards. The Open Alliance for PostgreSQL Education (OAPE) — a consortium of companies that defines binding requirements for PostgreSQL certifications — fills this gap. credativ is a member of the alliance, and our technical lead for databases helped develop the exam requirements.

For you, this means that the content of our training courses is not based on what sells well, but on what industry experts have identified as essential knowledge for business operations.

Corporate Training and Customized Content

A large portion of our PostgreSQL training courses are offered as private corporate training sessions tailored to the client’s environment. Whether you’re training an entire team, preparing for a migration to PostgreSQL, or want to focus on topics that go beyond the standard course, we’ll tailor the course accordingly. We can conduct the training either online or on-site at your location, and, if desired, combine it with customized workshops. Contact us!

credativ as a training partner for your PostgreSQL databases

In our training courses, we share the exact knowledge we apply every day in real-world projects. credativ has been working with PostgreSQL since 1999: from migrating existing databases to professional operation and support, all the way to setting up high-availability environments. Our specialists work right down to the code level and are active members of the PostgreSQL community.

This practical experience is directly incorporated into our training courses. Our trainers not only teach but also manage PostgreSQL on behalf of clients, so they understand the questions that really matter in a production environment: What happens during a major upgrade to a database that can’t be taken offline? How can you tell if a backup won’t work when it counts? You’ll get reliable answers to these questions—not just textbook knowledge.

If you need assistance beyond the training, our PostgreSQL® Competence Center is here to help with 24/7 support.

Our support is focused on the actual needs of our customers. This means that we naturally offer more support than the traditional support offered by many manufacturers. But what’s important, and this applies for any software that is operated in business-critical areas, is that the operation is appropriately secured. This is where we provide technical support at the manufacturer level with guaranteed service level agreements.
All of our employees are experienced Open Source developers and administrators. We are the replacement for missing manufacturer support, and support the entire lifecycle of your Open Source software by means of our Open Source Support Center. We provide the necessary support and all the services for your entire Open Source stack under one roof.
Our service and support contracts take account of your interests, not those of investors.

We also want to provide a model that is completely independent of the usual factors, such as the number of users, the number of CPUs/cores and servers used or similar limiting factors. We would be pleased to discuss further details with you personally. More about the operation of our Open Source Support Centers
