Question 1

Why PostgreSQL over other databases?

Accepted Answer

PostgreSQL combines ACID compliance, advanced indexing (GIN, GiST, BRIN), JSON support, full-text search, and extensibility. It handles relational, document, and time-series workloads in one engine.

Question 2

Can you optimize our existing slow queries?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We find the worst offenders in pg_stat_statements, analyze EXPLAIN output, add targeted indexes, and rewrite what indexing can't fix. The right index often turns a multi-second query into a millisecond one.

Question 3

How do you handle database migrations?

Accepted Answer

We use migration tools like Prisma Migrate, Flyway, or custom SQL scripts — tested in staging, applied with zero-downtime strategies like CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY and phased column changes.

Question 4

What about scaling PostgreSQL?

Accepted Answer

We scale vertically by optimizing configuration (shared_buffers, work_mem, effective_cache_size), horizontally with read replicas, and by implementing connection pooling and caching layers.

Question 5

Do you work with managed PostgreSQL services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We configure and optimize RDS PostgreSQL, Aurora PostgreSQL, Supabase, and Neon. We handle parameter groups, storage tuning, and monitoring for managed environments.
