Importance of PostgreSQL Vacuum Tuning to Optimize Database Performance | Presented by Datavail PostgreSQL is a powerful open-source database, but its performance can degrade over time without proper maintenance. One of the most critical yet often overlooked aspects of PostgreSQL performance tuning is vacuuming. In this presentation, Datavail explores how vacuum tuning—especially Autovacuum configuration—can dramatically improve query speed, reduce bloat, and maintain overall database health. Whether you're running PostgreSQL on-premises or in the cloud, understanding and optimizing vacuum processes is essential for long-term scalability and reliability. 🔗 View the full presentation here: https://www.datavail.com/resources/importance-postgresql-vacuum-tuning-optimize-database-performance/ Key Highlights What is Vacuuming?
