How was autovacuum configured in your project?

Autovacuum in PostgreSQL is an automatic process that cleans tables from 'dead' rows to prevent database bloat and performance degradation.

In my project, autovacuum was configured considering the load and size of tables:

• Parameters autovacuum_vacuum_threshold and autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor were reduced for frequently updated tables to make vacuum run more often.
• For large tables, autovacuum_max_workers was increased to allow more processes to run simultaneously.
• autovacuum_naptime was adjusted to decrease the interval between checks.
• In some cases, autovacuum was disabled on very large tables, and manual vacuum was scheduled at planned times.

This approach helped maintain performance and avoid bloating issues.
