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.

A recent Swarm64 contribution to PostgreSQL 13 that enables pg_dump to more fully support the backup and restoration of foreign tables.

Want to lower data platform costs for analytic or query-intensive projects? Consider free, open source Postgres on an FPGA-accelerated AWS F1 instance for great price-performance. Here’s how to do it…
