PostgreSQL setup and optimisation: server parameters, indexes, backups, replication and monitoring

I tune PostgreSQL to the actual workload: server parameters, indexes, query plans, backups and replication. I bring existing databases up to standard and stay on for operations: migrations, monitoring and version upgrades

What is included

Setup and installation

PostgreSQL installation and configuration: parameters, roles, access, replication

Installation and initial PostgreSQL configuration
Server parameters tuned to available memory and workload
Roles, schemas and access control
Replication and failover groundwork

Query optimisation

Query plans, indexes, slow queries and locks

Query plan review with EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)
Indexes that match the real query profile
Removing locks and long-running transactions
Query fixes in the application: Prisma, TypeORM, Knex

Backups and recovery

Backups, WAL (write-ahead log) archiving, recovery checks and replication

pg_dump, pg_basebackup and WAL archiving
Backup schedule and retention
Recovery verified on a test environment
Replication and failover

Support and migrations

Monitoring, schema migrations, version upgrades and incident response

PostgreSQL monitoring: Zabbix and ELK (Elasticsearch)
Schema migrations: Prisma, TypeORM, Knex
Minor and major version upgrades
Incident response and root-cause review

Outcome

A PostgreSQL cluster tuned to your workload
Faster queries without rewriting the application
Backups with recovery that has been verified
Monitoring and alerts on database health
A routine for migrations and upgrades

Common questions

What is included in PostgreSQL setup?

Installation and server parameters, roles and access, indexes, backups and replication, verified under your workload

How does query optimisation work?

I start with statistics and query plans, then add indexes, adjust server parameters and fix the heavy queries in the application

Do you handle backups and recovery?

Yes: pg_dump, pg_basebackup and WAL archiving on a schedule, plus recovery tests so a backup actually restores

Can you work with an existing database?

Yes. I start with an audit of the current cluster and data, then make changes without downtime: parameters, indexes, replication and migrations
