Praise Quotes

Halfway through 'High Performance PostgreSQL for Rails' by @andatki.

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!! 🔥🔥🔥 https://t.co/lRDR46skNj

📚 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

Great week for #Rails books! 🛤️

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 DB👍#programming

“If you use Rails and Postgres, this book is required reading.

If you use Postgres and a different framework, you will still get a ton of value out of it. Every section goes deep.”

Thank you @jpcamara! 🙌#postgresql #rubyonrails @pragprog https://t.co/IZRUnwHv8v

Praise and Reviews

The most informative and knowledge dense book I have ever read on understanding database performance, bottlenecks, and solutions. - Sean Szurko

It’s a helpful companion into the depths of Postgres functionality. If you’re 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 would’ve 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
