5 Ways to Improve Your PostgreSQL INSERT performance

Ingest (INSERT) performance is critical for many PostgreSQL use cases, from application monitoring and application analytics to IoT monitoring and more.

And, optimizing the speed that your database ingests new data is especially critical when you’re dealing with time-series data, where new observations about a system are treated as new rows (INSERTs), rather than overwrites (UPDATEs).

Join Avthar Sewrathan, Timescale Developer Advocate and time-series pro, as he shows you 5 simple, yet powerful, ways to improve your PostgreSQL ingest performance. In this demo-packed session, he’ll draw on his own experiences, recommendations from TimescaleDB’s PostgreSQL extension developers, and Timescale community members’ tips, so you leave with the practical guidance you need to improve your Postgres database performance.

During the session you’ll:

  • Get a quick overview of factors that impact PostgreSQL insert performance
  • Learn 5 optimization techniques for vanilla PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB (live demos!)
  • Hear best practices and guidance that you can apply to your scenario
  • Be able to ask questions and get responses from the Timescale team.

We’ll focus on code and step-by-step demos, using real world examples and time-series datasets, and we’ll have experts on hand to answer your questions.

Sign up even if you’re unable to attend live - you’ll receive the recording, resources, and demos shortly afterwards.

Our goal: make sure you’re well-equipped to continue your journey to PostgreSQL mastery 🎉

We hope to see you soon!
