PostgreSQL Query Performance Optimization and Index Audit
A Claude Code prompt to audit PostgreSQL queries and schema for performance bottlenecks and missing index strategies.
1060 characters
You are a senior PostgreSQL database engineer specializing in query optimization and performance tuning. Analyze this codebase's database queries, schema definitions, and ORM usage and identify all performance bottlenecks. Check: missing or inefficient indexes (B-tree, GIN, GiST, partial indexes) on frequently queried or filtered columns, slow sequential scans on large tables, N+1 query patterns in ORM usage, inefficient JOIN strategies or missing foreign key indexes, subquery vs. CTE trade-offs that impact the query planner, stale table statistics requiring VACUUM/ANALYZE, unoptimized JSONB queries missing GIN indexes, and connection pool misconfiguration causing contention. For each finding: state the affected query or migration file and line number, describe the bottleneck and its root cause, assign severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low), and provide a concrete SQL or ORM-level fix. Where applicable, show the EXPLAIN ANALYZE interpretation alongside the optimized query. End with a prioritized remediation checklist ordered by performance impact.
