PostgreSQL Performance Tuning Consulting

If your PostgreSQL database slows down as data grows, the usual causes are table bloat, missing indexes, or queries that no longer fit the data. We find the real bottleneck and fix it so reports move from minutes to seconds.

What We Offer

Slow query analysis

We enable and inspect pg_stat_statements and slow query logs, then rewrite high impact queries so they use better plans and less IO.

Vacuum and bloat review

We check autovacuum health, table bloat, and dead tuples. Settings are adjusted so you keep performance without constant manual cleanup.

Index strategy

We remove unused indexes and add the few that matter. The goal is faster reads without hurting writes.

Configuration tuning

We tune memory, checkpoint, and connection settings to match your workload and hardware instead of sticking with defaults.

Key Benefits

5–10x improvement on targeted slow queries in typical engagements
Less time fighting incidents and more time shipping features
Better use of existing hardware before you scale up servers
Clear documentation of every change for your team

Our Process

1

Audit: gather slow query data, vacuum stats, index usage, and configuration details.

2

Report: share a ranked list of problems with effort and impact for each fix.

3

Implement: apply low risk changes first, then schedule anything that needs a maintenance window.

4

Verify: compare before and after timings with real workloads.

5

Handoff: leave notes and simple checks so your team can keep PostgreSQL fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most audits finish in three to five business days once we have access to metrics and explain plans. Larger estates or many databases can take longer.
Yes. Query changes, most index work using CONCURRENTLY, and configuration tuning usually happen without downtime. Rare operations like VACUUM FULL are scheduled in your maintenance window.
Yes. We tune PostgreSQL on AWS RDS and Aurora, Google Cloud SQL, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, and self managed instances.
A focused audit starts around one thousand US dollars. Full optimization projects that include query rewrites, index strategy, and configuration tuning range higher based on size and complexity.
