A Methodology for Diagnosing PostgreSQL Slow Queries

Slow queries are the sworn enemy of OLTP databases. Here’s how to identify, analyze, and fix them using metrics (Pigsty dashboards), pg_stat_statements, and logs.

Database Cluster Management Concepts and Entity Naming Conventions

Concepts and their naming are very important. Naming style reflects an engineer's understanding of system architecture. Poorly defined concepts lead to communication confusion, while carelessly set names create unexpected additional burden. Therefore, they need careful design.

PostgreSQL's KPI

Managing databases is similar to managing people - both need KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). So what are database KPIs? This article introduces a way to measure PostgreSQL load: using a single horizontally comparable metric that is basically independent of workload type and machine type, called **PG Load**.
