PostgreSQL's Inner Workings

To master PostgreSQL performance, you need its architecture — the processes, memory, and storage that work together to serve your data.

The Big Picture: Core Parts

PostgreSQL's architecture splits into three areas: processes that run the work, memory structures for fast access, and storage that persists data to disk.

Processes: The Postmaster

The Postmaster is PostgreSQL's central parent process. It listens for client connections and spawns a dedicated backend process for each one.

Processes: Backend Processes

Each connection gets its own backend process handling all of that client's queries — isolation so one client's work doesn't trip up another's.

Processes: Background Workers

Several background workers handle upkeep: the WAL Writer flushes the log, Autovacuum cleans dead tuples, and the Checkpointer writes dirty pages to disk.

Memory: Shared Buffers

Shared Buffers is the shared memory cache for frequently used disk blocks. Bigger cuts disk I/O, but too big wastes memory or triggers OS swapping. Check it below.

SHOW shared_buffers;

Memory: Work Memory (work_mem)

work_mem is private memory per backend for sorting, hashing, and merging. Exceed it and the operation spills to disk, slowing the query. Check it below.

SHOW work_mem;

Storage: Data Files & WAL

Every change hits the Write-Ahead Log (WAL) before the data files — that's what guarantees durability and crash recovery. The query below shows the current WAL LSN.

SELECT pg_current_wal_lsn();

A Client's Journey

A query's journey: the Postmaster spawns a backend, which uses shared buffers and work_mem to process data, writes changes to the WAL, then returns results.

Architecture Quick Check

Which PostgreSQL process is responsible for listening for client connections and spawning new backend processes?

Recap: PostgreSQL's Core

Recap: PostgreSQL's architecture is processes (Postmaster, backends, workers), memory (shared buffers, work_mem), and storage (data files plus the WAL).
