Tuning of postgres is done via the postgresql.conf file.

Settings based on available RAM

shared_buffers=1/4 of the available memory

effective_cache_size = 1/2 of available memory

Standard Settings

autovacuum_max_workers = 1
checkpoint_completion_target = 0.9
checkpoint_segments = 32
log_min_duration_statement = 5000
synchronous_commit = off 
work_mem = 10MB
wal_buffers= 10MB
commit_delay 10
max_locks_per_transaction=3000


Example for a server with 16GB of RAM

effective_cache_size = 8GB
shared_buffers = 4000MB
autovacuum_max_workers = 1
checkpoint_completion_target = 0.9
checkpoint_segments = 32
log_min_duration_statement = 5000
synchronous_commit = off 
work_mem = 10MB
wal_buffers= 10MB
commit_delay 10
max_locks_per_transaction=3000
