# **The Hidden Cost of PostgreSQL Performance Issues, & How to Regain Control Before They Escalate**

PostgreSQL is built to support mission critical systems. Yet in many environments, performance issues build quietly over time and begin affecting from query speed to inflated cloud costs.

On 13 May 2026, at 3 PM GMT Umair Shahid hosted a session on “The hidden cost of PostgreSQL performance issues, and how to regain control before they escalate”, where he will breakdown the cost of performance issues in production PostgreSQL environments and what teams can do to bring systems back under control.

#### What was covered:

 → What to look at first to understand where time and resources are being lost  
 → Infrastructure cost of poor query plans, excessive I/O, and memory pressure  
 → Operational overhead created by over-indexing, table bloat, and WAL growth  
 → Effect of slow transactions and lock contention on application performance  
 → Workload shifts that create sustained pressure on PostgreSQL over time  
 → Practical ways to improve performance without overprovisioning systems

#### Who will benefit from this session:

This session is designed for teams responsible for keeping PostgreSQL stable under production load and making practical decisions before issues become expensive.
