This blog was originally published in August 2018 and was updated in May 2023. Out of the box, the default PostgreSQL configuration is not tuned for any particular workload. It has default settings for all of the database parameters. What is PostgreSQL performance tuning? What is PostgreSQL performance tuning?

The performance of a PostgreSQL database can be compromised by dead tuples, since they continue to occupy space and can lead to bloat. Now, though, it’s time to look at autovacuum for postgres, and the internals you to know to maintain a high performance PostgreSQL database needed by demanding applications.

Aurora Parallel Query response time (for queries which can not use indexes) can be 5x-10x better compared to the non-parallel fully cached operations. I’m using the “Airlines On-Time Performance” database from [link] (You can find the scripts I used here: [link] ). The second and third run used the cached data. MySQL on ec2.

Andreas Andreakis , Ioannis Papapanagiotou Overview Change-Data-Capture (CDC) allows capturing committed changes from a database in real-time and propagating those changes to downstream consumers [1][2]. In databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL, transaction logs are the source of CDC events. Designed with High Availability in mind.
