Speed Up PostgreSQL Queries by 7x with Smarter Indexing

PostgreSQL is powerful, but scanning huge datasets can slow down queries. What if you could skip unnecessary data and run queries 7x faster? 🚀

In this video, we break down how indexing optimizations in TimescaleDB can dramatically reduce query times. Instead of scanning everything, PostgreSQL can intelligently prune irrelevant data, making real-time analytics more efficient.

🔹 How it works: Min/max indexing helps PostgreSQL skip scanning unnecessary data
🔹 Real-world example: Faster queries for event-tracking & time-series data
🔹 Best for: Large PostgreSQL databases that need real-time analytics

Try this indexing technique in TimescaleDB today and experience massively improved query speed!
