Questions About Hiring a Senior PostgreSQL Database Architect
Can you optimize PostgreSQL queries without changing application code?
Yes! By creating targeted composite indexes, partial indexes, and optimizing postgresql.conf memory buffers, we often speed up queries 10x with zero code changes.
How do you handle zero-downtime database upgrades?
We use logical replication and CDC to synchronize data with the upgraded instance, executing a cutover in under 30 seconds.
