S3E1: Francesco Tisiot, Field CTO Aiven

Hacking Postgres

Joining Aiven in 2021, Francesco Tisiot works as a Field CTO and AI Lead. He serves as a technical advisor to clients and prospects, helping to meet their needs without the focus on sales, acting as a 'rented' CTO to provide expert guidance. Join us as we dive into Francesco's insightful perspectives on the Postgres community, where he challenges the notion of valuing years of experience over actual contributions and expertise.

In this episode, we explore:

• How Postgres is a core focus for Aiven
• Strategies for incorporating diverse viewpoints within the community
• The perception of Oracle within the Postgres community
• Benefits and challenges of using AI tools for database optimisation
• Acquisition of EverSQL by Aiven for integrating AI tools in SQL performance tuning
