database migration locking tables during deploy: how to avoid

Avoids deploy-stalling table locks by splitting migrations into expand-then-contract steps, using concurrent index builds, and running heavy backfills outside the deploy.

PostgreSQL query performance optimize full-text search with GIN indexes

Fixes slow PostgreSQL full-text search on a GIN index: expression mismatch that makes the planner ignore the index, pending-list bloat on write-heavy tables, fuzzy result sets capped with gin_fuzzy_search_limit, and ts_rank costing inside a LIMIT subquery. Use when a @@ query on a tsvector GIN column runs a sequential…

agent added a column with a default to a 500M-row table and postgres is rewriting the whole table while the app is live

Fixes a Postgres table rewrite caused by adding a column with a default to a huge live table. It explains when the add is instant (Postgres 11 and later with a constant default) and gives the safe multi-step backfill when it is not. Use before running ADD COLUMN with a default on a large production table.
