Table of Contents

1. Understanding the Query Execution Engine

Deep-dive into index scans vs bitmap heap scans, analyzing cost formulas, and tuning buffer cache hit ratios.

Optimize multi-terabyte timeseries tables using Block Range Indexes and composite partial indexes.

3. Connection Pooling and PgBouncer Tuning

Mitigate transaction thrashing and CPU context switches by scaling connection pool concurrency to match CPU core counts.

4. Multi-Region Read Replicas and Write Consistency

Balance eventual consistency against linearizable reads using synchronous commit levels and raft-backed consensus.
