How PostgreSQL Enhances Performance and Scalability in IoT Solutions

PostgreSQL is an open-source relational database system favored for its versatility, extensibility, and ability to handle large volumes of data and complex queries efficiently. In 2024, approximately 57,629 companies adopted PostgreSQL, reflecting its growing popularity in IoT applications. PostgreSQL supports scalable IoT application development through custom data types, advanced indexing options (like B-tree and GiST), and JSON/JSONB support for semi-structured data. Its indexing techniques enhance performance, particularly for geolocation data, while partitioning allows for manageable data handling in rapidly growing datasets. PostgreSQL effectively manages time-series data through TimescaleDB, optimizing storage and retrieval for historical information. High availability features, such as asynchronous replication and point-in-time recovery, ensure data integrity and resilience in IoT systems.

Windows 11 will show more Disk details in the Task Manager

The Task Manager in Windows is being enhanced to provide more detailed information about available disks, including the Bus type (e.g., NVMe or SATA). A feature currently being tested in Insider Beta build 22635.4225 will allow users to see disk types labeled next to each disk, such as SSD (NVMe). This improvement contrasts with the current version, which only identifies disks as SSDs without specifying the type. Additionally, there is a request for Microsoft to include temperature readings for disks and CPUs in the Task Manager, as this information is currently not available and requires users to access it through the Settings app or third-party applications.
