Optimizing postgresql table for more than 100K inserts per second

• Create UNLOGGED table. This reduces the amount of data written to persistent storage by up to 2x.
• Set WITH (autovacuum_enabled=false) on the table. This saves CPU time and IO bandwidth on useless vacuuming of the table (since we never DELETE or UPDATE the table).
• Insert rows with COPY FROM STDIN. This is the fastest possible approach to insert rows into table.
• Minimize the number of indexes in the table, since they slow down inserts. Usually an index on time timestamp with time zone is enough.
• Add synchronous_commit = off to postgresql.conf.
• Use table inheritance for fast removal of old data:

# What you would usually write like this: 
#
#   User.where(["users.created_at > ? AND users.name LIKE ?", Date.yesterday, "Mary"])
#
# can now be written like this (note those parentheses required by the operators precedences):
