Adopting prepared statements in your application is an easy performance gain. Using prepared statements lets your application skip query parsing and analyzing, eliminating a substantial amount of overhead. Pairing this with a connection pooler and transaction mode can dramatically boost your Postgres database performance.

Today, Timescale announces the general availability of connection pooling on our platform. Connection poolers help scale connections and get better performance out of their database, especially for customers with many short-lived connections. Unlike many competitors, the connection pooler, hosted PgBouncer, has dedicated infrastructure rather than being colocated with your database. Dedicated infrastructure means the pooler does not use any of the compute resources reserved for your database.

If you have experience running PostgreSQL in a production environment, you know that maintaining database backups is a daunting task. In the event of a catastrophic failure, data corruption, or other form of data loss, the ability to quickly restore from these backups will be vital for minimizing downtime. If you’re managing a database, maintaining your backups and getting your recovery strategy in order is probably the first check on your checklist.
