About
PostgreSQL@SCaLE24x is a PostgreSQL community event co-located with SCaLE 24x, the Southern California Linux Expo, which describes itself as North America's largest community-run open source conference. The track brings database administrators, backend developers and open source contributors together around the PostgreSQL ecosystem, inside a wider expo that also spans security, DevOps and cloud native topics. SCaLE 24x runs in person at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California, from 1 to 4 April 2027. The expo is organised by volunteers, with a programme committee of around 40 volunteers reviewing talk proposals, and it hosts a long list of co-located events, including Cloud Native Days, DevOpsDay LA, PlanetNix, SunSecCon and Open Source in Higher Education. Attendees of the PostgreSQL programme can combine database-focused sessions with four days of SCaLE talks, workshops, Birds of a Feather sessions and community activities, moving freely between tracks. That mix suits engineers who run Postgres alongside Linux, containers and other open source infrastructure. For the PostgreSQL community on the US West Coast, the co-location offers a recurring meeting point where database practitioners connect with the broader open source world rather than in isolation.

Planning your trip to Pasadena
Contains sponsored linksPostgreSQL@SCaLE24x is the Postgres track running alongside the Southern California Linux Expo, the long-running community-organised open-source show, from 1 to 4 April 2027 in Pasadena. Recent SCaLE editions have been held at the Pasadena Convention Center, on the edge of the walkable Old Pasadena district. Early April usually brings mild, sunny days in the low 20s °C with cool evenings — ideal weather for walking between sessions, coffee shops and the San Gabriel Mountains views.
Getting there & around
Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) is the closest, roughly 20–30 minutes by car. Los Angeles International (LAX) has far more routes but sits 45–75 minutes away depending on freeway traffic. LA Metro's A Line light rail connects downtown Los Angeles's Union Station with Pasadena; the Memorial Park and Del Mar stations are a short walk from the convention district. Ride-hailing is widely available.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Mobile coverage in Pasadena is strong, and an eSIM activated before you fly keeps maps and Metro trip planning working from the moment you clear the airport. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Old Pasadena. The historic brick blocks around Colorado Boulevard are a few minutes' walk from the convention area and full of restaurants, bookshops and bars. It is the natural place for post-session dinners and hallway-track meetups. Evenings are lively but relaxed; no reservation is needed for most casual spots.
The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens. In neighbouring San Marino, the Huntington combines rare books and art with extensive themed gardens; April is a lovely time for the Japanese and rose gardens. Book timed entry ahead, allow at least half a day, and drive or take a short ride-hail from Pasadena. Tickets on Tiqets →
Norton Simon Museum. A compact but exceptional collection of European and South Asian art sits at the western end of Colorado Boulevard. It is an easy add-on to an afternoon break, taking 90 minutes to two hours. Check opening days before you go, as it closes on some weekdays.
Griffith Observatory. For a classic Los Angeles view, Griffith Observatory overlooks the basin and the Hollywood sign, about 25 minutes' drive from Pasadena. Sunset and the hour after are the best times; parking fills on weekends, so a ride-hail drop-off is easier. Entry to the building is free.
Good to know
Which airport is best for Pasadena?
Hollywood Burbank (BUR) is the closest and least stressful, about 20–30 minutes by car. LAX offers more international flights but can take over an hour in traffic.
Do I need a car for SCaLE in Pasadena?
Not for the conference itself — Old Pasadena is walkable and the Metro A Line reaches downtown Los Angeles. A car or ride-hail helps for side trips like the Huntington or Griffith Observatory.
What is the weather like in early April?
Typically dry and mild, with daytime highs around 20–24 °C and cooler evenings. Bring a light jacket for nights.
