Performance
Proper indexing is key, use EXPLAIN ANALYZE, implement query caching with Redis, partition large tables, optimize vacuum and autovacuum settings.
Security
Use role-based access control, implement row-level security, encrypt data at rest and in transit, audit database access, use prepared statements.
