Mastering PostgreSQL for Data Engineering and Cloud Deployment

Design, Optimize, and Scale PostgreSQL for Modern Data Pipelines.

Key Features

? Learn PostgreSQL from the ground up, covering installation, SQL, configuration, backup, replication, and cloud deployment.

? Gain in-depth knowledge of performance tuning, indexing strategies, and high availability to scale databases efficiently.

? Deploy PostgreSQL on AWS, using RDS, EC2, and S3, with real-world cloud migration and IAM management use cases.

Book Description

PostgreSQL is a leading open-source database, essential for modern data engineering tasks. Mastering PostgreSQL for Data Engineering and Cloud Deployment is your complete guide to unlocking PostgreSQL's full potential in data-centric environments.

Starting with installation and configuration, the book moves through foundational SQL, complex queries, and schema design. You will then deep dive into backup and restore, replication, high availability, and performance tuning strategies necessary for large-scale data workflows. The final chapters guide you through integrating PostgreSQL with AWS cloud services like RDS, EC2, and S3, enabling cloud-native data operations and migrations.

Packed with real-world use cases, this book helps data engineers streamline operations, optimize queries, and build resilient, high-performance database systems.

Hence, whether you are designing pipelines or managing production workloads, this is your roadmap to PostgreSQL mastery.
