Mixed (HTAP) workloads are challenging because they are either primarily OLTP (with some OLAP) or primarily OLAP (with some OLTP). Swarm64 developed a single benchmark to support both scenarios.

Taking a look at how transactional database features, such as fast UPDATEs and JSONB, can make analytics easier.

In this short video, I demonstrate how to install the Swarm64 DA extension into an existing PostgreSQL database.

Are you in index “hell?” With typical B-tree indexes, you must guess which columns will be selected by your queries most of the time. If you index too few columns, your queries will be slow. If you index too many, you will pay a performance penalty maintaining all the indexes.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to set up a PG Nitrous database as a read replica for your Amazon RDS (Postgres) database.

PostgreSQL columnstore indexes have a compression setting. Learn the pros and cons of different compression settings to help you tune performance better.

Learn how Columnstore Indexes in Swarm64 DA 5.0 speed up PostgreSQL query performance.

Swarm64 DA speeds up some PostgreSQL queries more than others. “Will Swarm64 DA speed up your database?” This post dives into scenarios that are good candidates for Swarm64 DA acceleration.

It can be challenging to predict how PostgreSQL parallelism will affect a query. In this post, we recommend ways to speed up queries thru better parallelism.
