1: Don't do massive deletes
2: Make sure your autovacuum is tuned aggressively enough to keep up
with your workload
3: Make sure your hardware is fast enough to allow autovacuum to be
tuned aggressively enough to keep up with your workload.
Some minor bloating is fine. 10, 20, 50% dead space in a table is no
big deal. OTOH, 99.99% dead space probably is.
