Is the optimization only possible using dbos? is not clear to me if this mean a way to tune normal PG

The core optimization is to buffer notifications in-memory and send them in a batch instead of sending them as part of every transaction. So that's a general-purpose optimization for Postgres apps using LISTEN/NOTIFY.

  • So this is not inside a trigger but on the app connected to pg?

    • Yes, per the article they “scaled” Postgres to meet their requirements by altering their usage pattern to avoid hitting the bottleneck.
