Migrating from MySQL to PostgreSQL: is it worth it? - Pavel Lukasenko

PostgreSQL's rise to the top database in 2024 is undeniable but some users may hesitate to migrate due to legacy software dependencies and compatibility concerns.I recently went through the process of moving to PostgreSQL in my own Kubernetes setup, and I can confirm. It's not always easy at the start. In this presentation, I’ll share some surprising insights and tips to help you get started.

We’ll look at live demos of how to deploy PostgreSQL in Kubernetes, and I’ll also show which LLM worked best for helping with code migration. Ultimately, we answer the crucial question: Despite the initial pain, is migrating to PostgreSQL truly worth it?
