What you will learn

  • Investigate workload limits without universal tuning claims.
  • Evaluate PostgreSQL recovery, replication and migration boundaries.

  1. Performance investigation and estimate quality

    Diagnose a slow dispatch report from query work, estimates and resource waits. Make performance changes with representative evidence instead of universal memory or planner switches.

  2. JSONB data and index strategies

    Store flexible parcel metadata with typed relational boundaries. Distinguish json from jsonb, missing paths from JSON null, and operator-specific indexes.

    Start learning

  3. Partitioning and data lifecycle

    Use time partitions for a justified retention and query pattern. Explain routing, pruning, uniqueness and maintenance instead of treating partitioning as universal acceleration.

    Start learning

  4. Backup, restore and point-in-time recovery

    Choose logical or physical artifacts from recovery objectives and rehearse a complete restore chain. Separate crash recovery from undoing a committed business mistake.

    Start learning

  5. Replication, consistency and failover

    Compare physical standby and logical replication contracts, then observe receipt and replay independently. Define write ownership and recovery requirements before failover.

  6. Operations, migrations and reliability

    Connect query correctness to controlled PostgreSQL service changes. Review version compatibility, transactional DDL exceptions, connection budgets and reversible cutover evidence.
