Odoo performance with 8, 9, 10 & 11 and PostgreSQL 9.6

With the arrival of PostgreSQL 9,6, Odoo performance can now benefit from parallel query functions. From the PostgreSQL side, this is excellent news because this means many SELECT queries operated by the Odoo ORM can be run faster than they used to be. On the paper, the advantages are:

Faster query results (PostgreSQL claim up to 32x faster than on previous versions such as 9.5)
Improvement in GIN, BRIN and B-tree Indexing modes.
Better Row compression

Yet, when one looks at Odoo performance, one must understand that Odoo does not have capacity to use these very efficiently since the above imply two major factors […] Read more

Big data Odoo optimization

Big data Odoo optimization

Big data Odoo optimization is a very serious issue indeed. Because Odoo can be provided to big companies, this also implies that they will use the system extensively and that goes in pairs with a very fast and sustained data growth. Obviously, the most impacted standard tables will be the ones we call the “_lines” tables such as: sales_order_line ; account_move_line ; stock_move_line etc….etc….

The issue

To evaluate the impact of generic data growth on these tables, let’s imagine a standard company with 10 branches and 2 accounting persons validating 100 invoices each per open day. Let’s be fair and set the […] Read more

Odoo virtual memory on VM

Odoo virtual memory on VM

Odoo virtual memory on VM is a critical issue. Why? Although datacnters are now thriving with VM instances, one has to keep in mind that Odoo was originally designed to be implemented on physical systems. Among the main differences, one must keep in mind that all VMs (Virtual Machines), droplets, instances and other emulated environments do not use any swap partition at all. And yet, SWAP is the guardian of stability when your environment starts falling short on memory…

As you can see, VM performanc is affected by the type of swap. Yet, absence of swap can be lethal to system […] Read more

Odoo and PostgreSQL 9.5

Odoo and PostgreSQL 9.5

Odoo and PostgreSQL 9.5: a good or a bad idea?

After weeks of testing and benching Odoo and PostgreSQL 9.5, we have come to the following conclusion: PostgreSQL 9.5 (which comes out of the box with new Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) gives an excellent stability and performance.

Nevertheless, the PostGreSQL was slightly mofidied and some parameters we used to tweak in the previous version are now purely and simply gone. Others on the other hand have been added.

For example, checkpoint_segments is no longer being used and should be removed from the configuration.

On the other hand, max_wal_size has been added and shoud be setup […] Read more
