PostgreSQL is known to run efficiently on any system, using minimum resources. Because of this, however, it is also not well-tuned by default and can leave much to be desired from most demanding workloads. Too often, users are left with sub-optimal performance, resulting in slow query speeds, I/O reads, etc.

Join Ibrar Ahmed, Percona’s Principal Developer to learn:

  • How to tune some of PostgreSQL’s parameters to get better results
  • How to tune Linux for better PostgreSQL performance
  • Benchmarks obtained when tuning some of the Linux parameters
