Thank you.

Can you please explain a bit in detail, how much minimum VCPU and RAM will
be enough resources to suffice this requirement? and you normally do that
calculation?

Also i was trying to understand , by just looking into the "explain
analyze" output, is there any way we can tie the specific step in the plan
, which is the major contributor of the cpu resources? Such that we can
then try to fix that part rather than looking throughout the query as its
big query?

And if any suggestion to improve the TOP-N queries where the base table may
have many rows in it.
