Preface

PostgreSQL has become an increasingly viable database platform to serve as storage for applications, from classic corporate database use to the latest web apps. But getting the best performance from it is not an easy subject to learn. You need just the right combination of thumb rule to get started, solid monitoring, and maintenance to keep your system running as well as suggestions for troubleshooting, and add-on tools to add the features the core database doesn't try to handle on its own. This book is an update of the book PostgreSQL 9.6 High Performance.
