Database Insights

Your PostgreSQL table is 120GB but only contains 40GB of live data. Learn to measure bloat with pgstattuple, understand why autovacuum falls behind, and reclaim space with pg_repack without table locks.

pg_stat_statements tracks every query's total time, call count, and cache hit ratio. Learn to enable it, find your highest-cost queries, hunt for cache misses, and measure the impact of every optimization.

EXPLAIN ANALYZE tells you exactly why your PostgreSQL query is slow, but reading its output is a skill most developers never learn. Learn every node type, identify the five worst plan patterns, and fix them.

Transform PostgreSQL into a vector database with pgvector. Learn embedding storage, ANN index creation, similarity search optimization, and AI/ML integration patterns.

PostgreSQL views historically executed with the owner's privileges, bypassing row-level security policies. PostgreSQL 15 fixed this with security_invoker views — here's why it matters and how to use it in multi-tenant schemas.

Learn how JusDB optimized a TimescaleDB cluster ingesting billions of IoT readings monthly, achieving 10× faster writes and 65% storage reduction.

A production guide to PostgreSQL full-text search — building tsvector generated columns, GIN indexes, multi-column search with setweight, ts_rank scoring, websearch_to_tsquery, and comparison against Elasticsearch.

Monitor PostgreSQL streaming replication lag, replication slots, and standby health to ensure HA readiness

A complete guide to PostgreSQL replication — streaming replication setup, logical replication for selective table sync, synchronous standby configuration, monitoring replication lag, and failover with Patroni.

Configure PostgreSQL logical replication for selective table sync, zero-downtime upgrades, and multi-tenant setups

PgBouncer multiplexes thousands of application connections onto a small pool of real PostgreSQL server connections — reducing connection overhead without any application code changes.
