And you have autovacuum_naptime=5s ... which sounds rather dubious. Either somebody with great expertise configured this very carefully, or the settings are somewhat randomly chosen with little or no expert oversight. Do you have monitoring on the amount of bloat on these database? Maybe you should consider connection pooling and limit the number that are active, for starters. Maybe have a look at whether pg_wait_sampling can give you more clues. Some basic bloat monitoring is a prerequisite to any further performance tweaking anyhow. -- Álvaro Herrera Breisgau, Deutschland — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ Maybe there's lots of data loss but the records of data loss are also lost.
