What to look for in a PostgreSQL freelancer
A strong PostgreSQL expert reads query plans and designs schemas for the future, not just to make today's query run. Look for:
- Fluency with EXPLAIN ANALYZE, reading plans to find the real bottleneck.
- Sound schema instincts: normalization, constraints, and sensible indexing.
- Migration discipline, changing live schemas without locking or losing data.
- Knowledge of Postgres depth: JSONB, CTEs, window functions, and partitioning.
- Backup and recovery habits, so a failure never means lost data.
Give a candidate one genuinely slow query and ask how they would speed it up. A real expert talks about the query plan and indexes, not just adding more hardware.
