Postgres bottleneck diagnosis talk covers CPU, I/O, and network

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Rahila Syed presented a talk at POSETTE 2026 on diagnosing PostgreSQL performance bottlenecks. The presentation focused on using tools like `perf` and `pgbench` to iteratively profile the database and identify whether issues stem from CPU, I/O, or network limitations. Syed demonstrated how these bottlenecks can change as optimization efforts are applied. AI
