But if you deletes after N weeks BRIN shouldn't work properly because of vacuum and re-use of space within the table. Do you know BRIN? So, in your case, consider partitioning, maybe per month. So you can also avoid mess with table and index bloat. Greetings from Dresden to Chemnitz (is this still valid?)
