Performance tuning is primarily about identifying issues, but technical teams tend to over complicate the solution. Over-optimization can introduce unnecessary complexity without real improvement. In this blog, Semab Tariq shares two real EXPLAIN ANALYZE plans from production and explains how to: - Identify the true bottlenecks in a query - Use indexes effectively to target slow operations - Recognize when further optimization is unnecessary - Avoid adding indexes that increase storage and slow down writes - Incorporate EXPLAIN ANALYZE into regular performance monitoring By following these principles, you can optimize queries effectively without introducing unnecessary complexity.

Idle Transactions Cause Table Bloat? Wait, What? In PostgreSQL your idle in transaction sessions can quietly cause massive table bloat that simply vacuum won’t fix. This can lead to slower queries, wasted storage, and blocked maintenance operations. In this blog, Umair Shahid breaks down: - How idle transactions cause table and index bloat - Why they block autovacuum and degrade performance - The real risks from lock contention to XID wraparound - How to detect, prevent, and automatically terminate idle sessions Learn how to stop idle transactions from silently slowing your PostgreSQL performance.

A Fortune 500 tech care company was struggling to deliver real-time, actionable reports. Data was scattered across systems and reporting was manual. On-demand insights were slowed down because of the daily data inflows of 500GB, thus impacting critical decision making. With 1000 physical outlets, this operating model was not sustainable and Stormatics was approached to help solve this issue. Our team restructured the original data architecture and the following modules were implemented: - Custom ETL moved ODS data into a PostgreSQL Data Warehouse - Targeted Data Marts for real-time reporting - Self-serve, drill-down reports with BIRT and JavaScript Now, their teams make faster decisions with a single, trusted source of truth, without trading off reliability or cost.
