Hi All, Last month we accidentally collided with NoSQL Summer (http://nosqlsummer.org/city/philadelphia). It turns out many Philly Lambda members really enjoyed having to attending both meetings on the same night. Since this month's meeting is on Postgres I thought it would be appropriate to combine both groups so people don't have to migrate. It would be another "uber geek" night. The room will be available at 6:00pm at Comcast (45th floor of the Comcast Center at 17th & JFK downtown.), and the meeting will start at 6:15pm. At 7:30 we will switch to NoSQL Summer. Here's the meeting title and description: On Scaling and Postgres at MyYearbook by Michael Glaesemann With the surge of interest in non-relational data storage, it's useful to take a step back to look at how relational database systems can back high traffic social network sites. MyYearbook, a social network in the top-25 US sites in terms of pageviews, uses Postgres as its primary persistant datastore. How do they do it? Why use a technology as unhip as Postgres? Here's your chance to find out! As usual, please RSVP below so I can pass it on to the organizers of NoSQL. http://doodle.com/hqe37c8p4yd7rzex Big thanks to our speaker Michael Glaesemann and also Michael Bevilacqua-Linn and Jonathan Moore for making this joint meeting possible. Thanks, Aaron
