@quantumsys@tech.lgbt @zaire@fedi.absturztau.be Postgres tuning is parts art and science. In my last role, I had a great DBadmin who showed me some tricks, but nothing overly fancy. When I re-built my Synapse server, I used Tom’s guide and PGTune as a starting points. Out-of-the-box Postgress is slow and plodding, because it’s distributed generic postgresql.conf file. Typically the number of workers are too high and the memory allocations are way off for your server.

@steff@soc.femme.cat @zaire@fedi.absturztau.be Okay, that lines up with what I know 😄 Yeah, Postgres does not ship with suitable defaults, but I don't think I know a more efficient way to store and retrieve relational data than truly optimized Postgres.
