Today we are going to talk a little bit about spatial databases and a virtual event Crunchy Data is hosting with several friends and community members. We're putting together an awesome PostGIS Day

One of the great things about PostgreSQL is its reliability: it is very stable and typically “just works.” However, there are certain things that can happen in the environment that PostgreSQL is deployed in that can affect its uptime, such as:

• The database storage disk fails or some other hardware failure occurs
• The network on which the database resides becomes unreachable
• The host operating system becomes unstable and crashes
• A key database file becomes corrupted
• A data center is lost

Running PostgreSQL databases in containerized environments is more popular than ever and is moving beyond running only in local, development environments and into large scale production environments
