A couple of months ago while I was feeling particularly brave, I submitted to present at the DataLayer Conference. The next thing I knew, I was speaking at the [DataLayer Conference]( "DataLayer Conference"). The conference takes place in Austin on May 17th. Conferences like this one are an awesome channel for PostgreSQL advocacy. Of course I am partial to [PgConf US]( "PgConf US") but a conference such as DataLayer allows us to reach people who may be using one of those "other" databases. Here is the synopsis of the presentation I will be giving: **PostgreSQL: The Center of Your Data Universe** Although there are still battles to be fought, the war has already been won. Find out how PostgreSQL answers all of your data layer needs. PostgreSQL is a one of the longest standing Open Source Database systems with legions of users leading the way to a sane, productive and performance driven data layer. This presentation will cover an overview of PostgreSQL technologies including: * NoSQL capabilities * Relational capabilities * Replication & High Availability * Features you can't believe you lived without * Community If you feel like going, you can use the code JDROCKS (I promise, I didn't pick it) for a 15% discount. Let's have a large PostgreSQL contigent at the conference and show those "other" technologies what real community feels like! --- [View this page online](https://www.commandprompt.com/blog/postgresql_the_center_of_your_data_universe/)
