Warp Speed with Postgres FDW (Foreign Data Wrapper) and Rails
Abstract
We have encountered some performance issue on one of our services. It turns out that the problem is that it makes too many http calls to another service to get employee related information. And FDW can make it a lot faster.
In this talk, I will talk about why and how we implement FDW, the prons and cons of the solution that I know of.
