How to Tune ParadeDB

ParadeDB uses Postgres’ settings, which can be found in the postgresql.conf file. To find your postgresql.conf file, use SHOW.

SHOW config_file;

These settings can be changed in several ways:

By editing the postgresql.conf file and restarting Postgres. This makes the setting permanent for all sessions. postgresql.conf accepts ParadeDB’s custom paradedb.* settings.
By running SET. This temporarily changes the setting for the current session. Note that Postgres does not allow all postgresql.conf settings to be changed with SET.

SET maintenance_work_mem = '8GB'

If ParadeDB is deployed with CloudNativePG, these settings should be set in your .tfvars file.

.tfvars

postgresql = {
    parameters = {
      max_worker_processes                   = 76
      max_parallel_workers                   = 64
      # Note that paradedb.* settings must be wrapped in double quotes
      "paradedb.global_mutable_segment_rows" = 1000
    }
}
