Issues solved

Our clients say

You guys helped us move forward. We now have knowledge and several dev servers for the team to work/learn/blow up. The production server is always humming along and has NO problems since you guys helped us! I have heard of you before and wanted some pro help. You were not only pro but educated our staff so we could get the project finished.

Our preliminary data is showing that the new servers coupled with Postgres 10 are incredibly fast. Our peak traffic was known to tax our previous periodically throughout the morning. This morning our biggest spike was 7% utilization, and that only lasted a few seconds! Thanks for the help getting us configured correctly!

I appreciate the excellent support you and the CMD team deliver. I had the pleasure of making an excellent recommendation to one of your potential new customers. I hope the sale was made and you got the new business. I am happy to assist with helping JD and the CMD team with Globitech's excellent experiences of PostgreSQL and Command Prompt support.

This all makes sense to me. Thanks for documenting it. I think the changes you made here and to the postgresql.conf have made a significant difference. Wednesday is one of our higher traffic days and the database seemed to perform better today than I've seen it do in a long time. We've still got a lot to do, but thank you for saving my butt here!

Early morning in March of 2023, we received an alert that our RDS instance was down due to the disk attempting to expand too many times over a short period, triggering a disk expansion rate limit on AWS. Before I could finish writing my ticket to Command Prompt, Justin called me directly to inform me, in detail, about the issue. We worked together on an outside-the-box solution that had our production DB back up and running within the hour.

Beyond Throughput: Efficiency Metrics for Cost-Aware PostgreSQL Tuning

Tuning shared_buffers isn't just about peak throughput — it's about how much CPU and disk I/O a system consumes per unit of work. The 25% default can require up to 5x more disk I/O than very low or very high allocation. Part 1 of 3.
