Postgres Benchmark Setups

Are you planning a major Postgres upgrade, considering a new machine or instance type, or wondering how a configuration change will impact performance?

Making these changes directly in production is risky and can lead to costly downtime.

My Benchmark Setups service provides a safe and repeatable way to test these changes and understand their real-world impact.

Challenges

• Simulating a realistic workload
• Isolating relevant data for test setups
• Identifying meaningful performance metrics

My Approach

• Isolated & Safe Test Environments: I create a sandboxed environment that mirrors your production database or a minimal setup focused on your specific challenge. This includes all components required to simulate the benchmark workload.
  This allows you to run intensive benchmarks and test different scenarios with zero impact on your live database.
• In-Depth Performance Reports & Actionable Insights: I provide comprehensive reports that translate benchmark data into actionable insights. You'll understand the performance trade-offs of each change, identify potential bottlenecks, and receive clear recommendations.
• Reproducible Setups as Infrastructure as Code (IaC):

  Every evaluation environment I create is defined as code. This includes not only the database setup but also the workload simulation scripts and tooling.

  This means your entire benchmark setup is version-controlled, automated, and reproducible. Run the same test again months later and trust that the environment and workload are identical, ensuring consistent and comparable results.
• Flexible Deployment Options: I can deploy the benchmark environment directly within your infrastructure or on temporary, on-demand cloud resources that I provision and manage for you.
