PostgreSQL Performance Tuning | Optimize Your Database Like a Pro!
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Tuning a PostgreSQL database is a journey, not a single step. I'll guide you through the entire process on your Ubuntu 24.04 LTS server, from a default installation to a tuned one, with clear examples and tests to show the difference.

Our Tuning Plan

  1. Install PostgreSQL on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
  2. Establish a Baseline: Create a test database and run a sample workload to see the "before" performance.
  3. Tune PostgreSQL: Methodically adjust the most important configuration parameters in postgresql.conf.
  4. Test Again: Run the same workload to see the "after" performance and quantify the improvement.
  5. Review Key OS-Level Optimizations.

Prerequisites

  • A machine (or VM) with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS installed. We'll use 192.168.136.128 as instructed.
  • At least 2-4 GB of RAM for noticeable tuning effects. (The more, the better for testing).
  • You are logged in as a user with sudo privileges.
