What Is AlloyDB For PostgreSQL? - Govindhtech

Google Cloud’s next-generation managed PostgreSQL service, AlloyDB, handles cloud-scale operational and analytical workloads

Multi Version Concurrency Control (MVCC) in PostgreSQL allows many transactions to run concurrently without blocking

PostgreSQL users define AUTOVACUUM, an autonomous background process that triggers VACUUM depending on parameters

Autovacuum settings are hard to manually modify with large and dynamic workloads

AlloyDB’s adaptive autovacuum modifies vacuuming frequency and evaluates operations depending on database demand

Advantages of AlloyDB adaptive autovacuum

Adaptive autovacuum removes bloat to keep the database working smoothly as workload changes

Adaptive autovacuum automatically changes vacuuming frequency and analyzes operations, reducing maintenance

Adaptive autovacuum prevents XID wraparound, preventing database failures and improving availability
