Engineering's Open Source Team. He has worked on operating system & J2EE
development and performance optimization for the past 15 years. Recently
his focus has primarily been on making PostgreSQL run best on Solaris.
One of his recent contributions was the Generic Monitoring Framework
which enabled user-level DTrace probes to be integrated into PostgreSQL
code base in a non-operating system specific manner.

Testimonials
OmniTI Theo Schlossnagle, Principal, CTO
The result was improved database performance without increased
licensing costs with a $400,000 one-time savings and $100,000 annual
savings going forward on software licensing.
OmniTI moved its customer from a proprietary application to PostgreSQL
on Solaris to: (1) meet the growing demands of a half-terabyte OLTP
database peaking at 10,000 transactions per second and a datawarehouse
database consuming 1.2 terabytes; and (2) not send costs spiralling.
Scaling the proprietary database application would be extremely
expensive in light of its per-processor licensing requirements. The
open-source PostgreSQL database application, on the other hand, had no
licensing costs. In addition, PostgreSQL provided excellent support for
the types of complex queries associated with the customer's data warehouse.
Joyent Inc. Jason A. Hoffman, PhD, Founder, CTO
“Joyent chose open source PostgreSQL as the database platform for
our customer applications and enterprise infrastructure due to its high
performance and excellent data integrity characteristics. Running
PostgresSQL on OpenSolaris with its suite of observability tools, like
DTrace, gives us a level of insight and tuning capabilities that we
can't duplicate on any other platform.
We are thrilled to see Sun
officially support our combined operating system and database platform
of choice through their open source initiative. We expect Sun's
resources and support will improve the combined platform's scalability,
performance, and stability.”
