High Performance PostgreSQL, Tuning and Optimization Guide


Please watch Percona’s Senior Software Engineer, Ibrar Ahmed as he presents his talk “High-Performance PostgreSQL, Tuning and Optimization Guide”.

PostgreSQL is one of the leading open-source databases. Out of the box, the default PostgreSQL configuration is not tuned for any particular workload. The default configuration is designed in such a way that PostgreSQL can run on any system with least resources. PostgreSQL does not give optimum performance on high permanence machine because it is not using the all available resource. PostgreSQL provides a system you can tune your database according to your workload and machine specification. Other than PostgreSQL we can also tune our Linux box so that database load can work optimally. Here we learn how to tune PostgreSQL and will see the results of that tuning, We will also touch some of the Linux kernel parameters tuning.
