Last week I wrote about locking behaviour in Postgres, which commands block each other, and how you can diagnose blocked commands. Of course, after the diagnosis you may also want a cure. With Postgres it is possible to shoot yourself in the foot, but Postgres also offers you a way to stay on target. These are some of the important do’s and don’ts that we’ve seen as helpful when working with users to migrate from their single node Postgres database to Citus or when building new real-time analytics apps on Citus.
