Hello,
Do you have problems with performance? Since it is already optimized by default, but you can take a look at this video. Also, you can tweak your server/DB if you have performance issues.
No, there are no need to add other settings in server/database config files.
Related to best practices, there are no “secret” standards. Everything that we do is identical to what you see in the documentation. Just read the whole documentation and read a few tutorials from previous months.
Thanks.
