Invitation by Ryan Booz and summary post of all submissions
For this first event, I want you to write a blog post that shares three of your go-to Postgres best practices, but write it in the form of the game Two truths and a lie.
For example, perhaps there are three configuration settings you always modify whenever setting up a new cluster. You could share why these settings are important to modify and how you find the correct values, but for one of them, use Ilya’s comical approach to teach us the correct way to set the value. (ie. “I never set shared_buffers to more than 128MB to conserve server resources.” )
Maybe you have three go-to ways of monitoring your cluster or multiple SQL options to overcome a tricky query problem many PostgreSQL developers face. You’re limited only by your imagination.
And obviously, at the end of the blog, be sure to clearly identify which of the three tips was a lie and how someone should actually modify the setting or write that tricky SQL statement.
