- Schema design and normalization
- Index strategy
- Partitioning for scale
- JSONB for flexible data
- Migration planning
Performance Optimization
Diagnose and fix slow queries and database bottlenecks.
- Query analysis with EXPLAIN
- Index optimization
- Connection pool tuning
- Write performance optimization
- Monitoring setup
AI/Vector Search Integration
Implement PGVector for semantic search and RAG applications.
- PGVector extension setup
- Embedding storage design
- Hybrid search implementation
- Similarity search optimization
- Integration with LangChain
$ man postgresql
PostgreSQL for AI Applications
PostgreSQL with PGVector has become my go-to for AI applications:
Why PostgreSQL for AI?
- Unified storage: Vectors + structured data in one database
- ACID compliance: Reliable transactions for enterprise
- Hybrid search: Combine semantic + keyword search
- Cost effective: No separate vector database needed

Query Optimization Methodology
My systematic approach to PostgreSQL performance:
- Measure: Identify slow queries via pg_stat_statements
- Analyze: Use EXPLAIN ANALYZE to understand execution
- Optimize: Apply targeted fixes (indexes, rewrites, partitioning)
- Verify: Confirm improvement with benchmarks
- Monitor: Set up ongoing performance tracking
$ cat README.md
Why PostgreSQL?
PostgreSQL is my default choice for production databases:
- Reliability: ACID compliance, proven at enterprise scale
- Features: JSONB, full-text search, PostGIS, PGVector
- Performance: Excellent query optimizer, parallel queries
- Ecosystem: Extensions for everything
- AI Ready: PGVector for semantic search
