This is really awesome! A couple questions though:

* What do I do if I need to tune/configure Postgres for my workload.

* How is the performance of transferring all of the queries and responses across the internet?

Keep in mind I've never used postgres before so these may be moot points.

We've done a lot of tuning focused on web applications already, our experience is that mostly people with problems just need to add an index.

Performance depends on where you are querying from. We've found that if you are inside EC2 network overhead is typically <1ms.
