Misunderstood and Ignored PostgreSQL Parameters that should always be tuned

Achieving peak performance in PostgreSQL often hits a roadblock due to misunderstood and neglected configuration parameters. As data sets and transactions grow, performance may degrade, turning misconfigured or overlooked parameters into a nightmare.

While many platforms, tools and solutions offer automated tuning, understanding the underlying algorithms of PostgreSQL's most commonly mistaken and ignored configuration parameters is crucial for effective database management. In the ever-evolving landscape of PostgreSQL deployments, especially in the cloud, DBAs or DevOps may lose track of newly introduced parameters, missing out on optimization opportunities unique to newer versions.

Join this meetup to uncover several overlooked but important configuration parameters of PostgreSQL. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced PostgreSQL admin or developer, this session will provide valuable insights to refine your approach to database optimization with the following topics -

1. Commonly mistaken configuration parameters in PostgreSQL
2. Frequently ignored configuration parameters and their significance
3. Algorithms you need to be aware to tune PostgreSQL parameters
4. Important Extensions for PostgreSQL to gain much needed insights
5. Catalog objects you could leverage to know what you need to tune
