Webinar | Unlocking High-Performance PostgreSQL: Key Settings and System Strategies
We hosted a hands-on session on 17 Dec 2025 at 3PM GMT titled “Unlocking High-Performance PostgreSQL: Key Settings and System Strategies.” Our speakers Mughees Ahmed and Warda Bibi, PostgreSQL Consultants at Stormatics, shared practical insights on improving PostgreSQL performance by covering critical configuration areas that impact speed, scalability, and reliability across production workloads.
This webinar covered:
→ Memory parameters like shared_buffers, work_mem, and maintenance_work_mem
→ How to right-size max_connections and effective_cache_size
→ Checkpoint tuning and background writer configuration
→ Autovacuum best practices and logging for performance diagnostics
→ Operating system and hardware tips, including vm/dirty memory
→ Transparent Huge Pages, and more
Whether you're new to tuning or want a refresher on modern best practices, you’ll leave with clear guidance on what to change, why it matters, and how to measure the impact.
