    Configuring PostgreSQL for Logging & Query Optimization – January 13 Meetup

    On January 13, the Illinois Prairie PostgreSQL User Group kicks off 2026 with our first PostgreSQL meetup of the year, featuring Ryan Booze, Solutions Engineer at pganalyze and an expert in PostgreSQL performance monitoring.

    This session focuses on PostgreSQL logging, query optimization, and database performance tuning using powerful built-in tools such as pg_stat_statements and auto_explain. Attendees will learn how to configure effective logging, analyze Postgres query execution plans, and identify performance bottlenecks that impact real-world applications.

    Designed for Postgres developers, database engineers, and DBAs, this Chicago PostgreSQL meetup offers practical, actionable insights to help teams build more reliable, scalable, and high-performing PostgreSQL systems.
