Postgres Best Practices

A solid reference for keeping your Postgres work clean and performant. Covers the fundamentals you actually need: schema design patterns, indexing strategies, query optimization techniques, and migration practices. The kind of skill that's most useful when you're about to make a decision you might regret later, like choosing between JSONB and a normalized table structure, or wondering why your query is crawling. It won't make you a database expert overnight, but it'll save you from common mistakes and give you a framework for thinking through database decisions systematically instead of guessing.
