I used to think indexing was a guessing game. After Module 3, I rebuilt our query strategy from scratch. Result: 3x faster app response time.
PostgreSQL & Backend Optimization Mastery
A Complete System-Level Course for High-Performance Databases
Master PostgreSQL & Backend Performance, From Query Tuning to System-Level Optimization
Build scalable, lightning-fast backends with PostgreSQL. This advanced course dives deep into indexing, connection pooling, high availability, and real-world debugging techniques used by top engineering teams.
An Intro To
What You’ll Learn
In this immersive backend training, you’ll go far beyond basic SQL syntax.
Feature List
You’ll learn how to analyze execution plans, fine-tune indexes for high-throughput APIs, and troubleshoot performance bottlenecks across the entire stack.
Key Features
The course also includes PostgreSQL internals, VACUUM best practices, caching strategy design, and production-hardening your deployments. All lessons are built on practical, real-world case studies, no fluff.
Connector Line
Whether you’re working with microservices, monolithic APIs, or large analytical workloads, this course equips you to confidently scale PostgreSQL for production-grade speed, stability, and security.
Module-by-Module Breakdown
In to am attended desirous raptures declared diverted confined at. Collected instantly remaining up certainly to necessary as.
Module 1: PostgreSQL Architecture & Internals
Start by understanding the PostgreSQL engine from the ground up. Explore how queries are parsed, planned, and executed, and gain insight into storage, memory, and background workers.
Module 2: Advanced Query Analysis & Execution Plans
Learn how to read and interpret EXPLAIN ANALYZE, identify slow operations, and restructure complex joins or nested queries for better performance.
Module 3: Indexing Deep Dive
Go beyond basic B-tree indexes. This module covers partial indexes, covering indexes, expression indexes, and the use of GIN/GiST for full-text search and JSONB.
Module 4: Connection Pooling & Concurrency Control
Understand how PostgreSQL handles concurrent users. Implement PgBouncer or Pgpool-II, optimize pool sizing, and handle transaction isolation with precision.
Module 5: Caching, VACUUM, and Autovacuum Strategies
Design an effective caching layer using Redis or Memcached in conjunction with PostgreSQL. Master autovacuum tuning and avoid bloated tables.
Module 6: Schema Design & Anti-Patterns
Avoid common pitfalls in table design that hurt performance. Learn to structure schemas for both transactional and analytical use cases.
Module 7: High Availability & Failover Strategies
Set up streaming replication, understand WAL internals, and implement automatic failover for critical services.
Module 8: Performance Testing & Load Simulation
Use tools like pgbench, wrk, and custom scripts to simulate real-world load and benchmark your improvements.
Module 9: Debugging Real Production Incidents
We walk through actual backend incidents — deadlocks, runaway queries, IO spikes — and how they were diagnosed and resolved.
What Students Are Saying
PostgreSQL is vast, but this course organizes it better than any docs I’ve seen. The section on autovacuum and query planning is gold.
I run a dev agency and this course became our internal training tool. Performance, observability, HA—it’s all here. Easily worth 10x the cost
The bonus modules are . We deployed PostgreSQL inside Kubernetes with
zero downtime thanks to the replica/failover section.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this course for?
This course is designed for backend developers, DevOps engineers, and system architects who want to deepen their mastery of PostgreSQL and backend infrastructure performance.
How do I access the course after purchase?
Immediately after payment, you’ll receive an email with access credentials. You can log in anytime and watch the course at your own pace from any device.
Do I need prior PostgreSQL experience?
A basic understanding of relational databases and SQL is recommended, but we cover core concepts in early modules before diving deeper.
Is the content updated regularly?
Yes. Our instructors monitor major PostgreSQL releases, and you’ll receive free updates when new lessons or strategies are added.
Is this just theory or hands-on?
This course is highly practical. Each module includes live demonstrations, query performance comparisons, and downloadable code samples.
Can I get a refund if I’m not satisfied?
Absolutely. We offer a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee. Just email our team at info@trynatusoftware.com.
Will I get a certificate of completion?
Yes — once you complete the modules, you’ll receive a personalized certificate that verifies your PostgreSQL optimization training.
