High-Performance PostgreSQL Administration

Is your PostgreSQL database struggling to keep up with your application's growth? When a single database server is no longer enough, you need to learn the principles of scaling and high availability. This course provides a practical path to mastering high-performance PostgreSQL administration. You will learn how to tune a single server for maximum efficiency and then progress to building complex, fault-tolerant clusters that can handle significant load, ensuring your data is always available and your application remains responsive. What you'll learn: * Tune PostgreSQL configurations for optimal performance on a single node. * Analyze and optimize slow queries using execution plans. * Implement effective backup, restore, and disaster recovery strategies. * Configure streaming replication to create high-availability read replicas. * Build a fault-tolerant cluster to ensure continuous operation. * Understand strategies for horizontal scaling, including connection pooling and sharding. The course begins with essential performance tuning concepts and query optimization before guiding you through the architecture of replication and clustering. You'll work through practical written examples to solidify your understanding of each component. This course is designed for developers, system administrators, and DevOps engineers who have a basic understanding of SQL and want to learn how to manage production-grade PostgreSQL databases. No prior database administration experience is required. Start building resilient and scalable database systems today.
