Halfway through 'High Performance PostgreSQL for Rails' by @andatki.
— Andrew Mason (@andrewmcodes) January 3, 2024
As a senior Rails dev, it's rare to find a book that challenges and excites me like this one did. Perfect for those who feel they've plateaued.
If you're a #rails developer, don't sleep on this!! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ https://t.co/lRDR46skNj
๐ Had a chance to take an early peek at "High Performance PostgreSQL for Rails" by @andatki (thanks again for that!), and it looks really great. Lots of useful advice not only for Rails folks, but for Postgres practitioners at large.https://t.co/p6LrOwFYqa https://t.co/bWhOk450fH pic.twitter.com/dFR0yTNpUY

Just picked up @palkan_tula's Layered Design for Ruby on Rails Applications and @andatki's High Performance PostgreSQL for Rails book.
Perfect timing for some traveling this weekend.
I think https://t.co/HQhb03ZkKK by @andatki is a "game-upgrader" for #Rails devs using #PostgreSQL. It covers so much ranging from ActiveRecord, SQL, bulk data, cursors, sharding, replication, partitioning, FTS...

Want Rails to scale? Gotta leverage the DB๐#programming
โIf you use Rails and Postgres, this book is required reading.
— Andrew Atkinson (@andatki) June 16, 2024
If you use Postgres and a different framework, you will still get a ton of value out of it. Every section goes deep.โ

Praise and Reviews
The most informative and knowledge dense book I have ever read on understanding database performance, bottlenecks, and solutions. - Sean Szurko
Itโs a helpful companion into the depths of Postgres functionality. If youโre looking to step out of the comfort of a Rails console and into a psql console, I recommend taking this with you. - Kevin Murphy
A book with this information wouldโve allowed me to shortcut several years off of learning Postgres the hard way. - Dave Copeland
If you are a Rails engineer who always wanted to understand how to have a greater impact on your work through taking command of your database, this is the book for you! - Daniel Kaczmarczyk
