Solutions Architect
Some of my Postgres needs are different from others. Sometimes I need a Postgres cluster for web application purposes, which means lots of connections each with limited cpu and memory needs. Other times, I may need a Postgres cluster for analytical purposes, which means fewer connections each with greater cpu and memory access.
Typically, when managing this infrastructure on my own, I would modify default values for shared_buffers, effective_cache_size, maintenance_work_mem, work_mem etc. to suit my specific needs. I am wondering if it is possible to manage the configuration in Digital Ocean’s managed Postgres clusters. Thanks!

Hi @dmitrent,
In the Postgres managed database, some configuration/optimization options can be explored to optimize the current Postgres database.
If you run into optimization that requires superuser privileges; you can open a support ticket with digitalocean to make changes from the backend.

Note: Few database variables values have a dependency, due to the nature of the managed database and won’t be modifiable.
