You might optimize your cooling system or move your data center to a colder region with reduced cooling demands. Reduce the volume of data volumes requested from databases (for example, request all, filter in memory). Next, we consider possible energy savings in the data center. Reduce inter-process communications overhead.

Database security is crucial to protecting sensitive information stored in a database. A critical aspect is authentication, which refers to verifying the identity of a user trying to access the database. PostgreSQL server authentication refers to verifying the identity of a user trying to connect to the PostgreSQL server.
