10x PostgreSQL performance boost on AWS RDS via ML-driven tuning

Midwest Tape (distributor for Hoopla) was hitting performance ceilings on their RDS PostgreSQL production database during peak demand.

By using an ML-driven tuning agent, they were able to identify bottlenecks in server-key parameters that manual inspection missed. In a 4-hour session, they achieved a 10x boost in query performance (75ms to 7ms).

This aligns with the "Autonomous Postgres" trend—moving the burden of tuning from the DBA to agents.
