Out of the box, the default PostgreSQL configuration is not tuned for any particular workload. It is primarily the responsibility of the database administrator or developer to tune PostgreSQL according to their system’s workload. What is PostgreSQL performance tuning? Why is PostgreSQL performance tuning important?

Perhaps the most interesting lesson/reminder is this: it takes a lot of effort to tune a Linux kernel. Google’s data center kernel is carefully performance tuned for their workloads. A micro-benchmark suite, LEBench was then built around tee system calls responsible for most of the time spent in the kernel. Headline results.

Limits of a lift-and-shift approach A traditional lift-and-shift approach, where teams migrate a monolithic application directly onto hardware hosted in the cloud, may seem like the logical first step toward application transformation. Use SLAs, SLOs, and SLIs as performance benchmarks for newly migrated microservices.
