Description

In https://issues.rudder.io/issues/14336 we introduced autovacuum on most table, and especialy ruddersysevents
Problem is postgres cannot keep up with the rate of data on this table, and on a busy instance, it can take more than a day. In result, it block the standart vacuum made every night, and so disk space grows out of limit

In this case, the only solution is to
ALTER TABLE ruddersysevents SET (autovacuum_enabled = false);
select pg_terminate_backend(<autovacuum id>);

and hope the database can recover

we need to remove this autovacuum as it is too risky

Note, it may be the cause of https://issues.rudder.io/issues/14789
