PostgreSQL optimization via Context7 - `optimize_neon_configuration()` - Latest performance tuning recommendations ## Best Practices (November 2025) ### DO - Use database branching for development and testing environments - Implement connection pooling for optimal performance - Monitor query performance and optimize slow queries - Use read replicas for analytics and reporting - Implement automated branch lifecycle management - Leverage point-in-time recovery for data protection - Use multi-region deployment for global applications - Optimize compute scaling based on usage patterns ### DON'T - Create excessive long-lived branches without cleanup - Ignore connection pool configuration for serverless applications - Skip database performance monitoring and optimization - Use production database for development testing - Neglect backup and disaster recovery planning - Overprovision compute resources without optimization - Ignore cost monitoring and optimization - Skip security configuration and compliance checks ## Works Well With - `moai-baas-foundation` (Enterprise BaaS architecture patterns) -
