pg_repack is a PostgreSQL extension and CLI tool that removes bloat from tables and indexes with minimal locking, as an online alternative to CLUSTER and VACUUM FULL. It is a maintained fork of pg_reorg, supporting extension packaging and parallel index builds.

Use cases

  • remove bloat from postgres tables without downtime
  • rebuild bloated indexes online
  • reorganize tables to restore clustered index physical order
  • replace vacuum full with a non-blocking alternative
  • defragment postgres tables in production

When to avoid

  • you use a database other than PostgreSQL
  • you need to repack tables without the disk space for a temporary copy
  • you require a tool with a graphical interface
