Staking our claim on open source technologies

Enova Financial provides online financial services to under-served consumers in the United States, Great Britain, Australia and Canada.

What originally started with a handful of people and a small application running on MySQL has grown into a multi-million dollar business running on Postgres. In an environment where downtime costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute, we continue to stake our claim on open source technologies, including Postgres, Skytools, Ruby on Rails and Linux.

In this talk, we will explain

    * How we're using Postgres
    * Why we switched from MySQL
    * Why we chose Postgres
    * What challenges we face using Postgres
