Become an Expert in Managing Your Tempdb

Deep dive into tempdb internals with actionable steps: set tempdb to SIMPLE recovery, put data and log on separate fast storage, create multiple data files — start with one file per CPU up to 8 and add in fours if contention persists — size files equally and set fixed autogrowth (for example 64 MB). Use DMVs like sys.dm_db_file_space_usage and sys.dm_db_task_space_usage to find hot operations, and apply SQL Server 2019 allocation improvements to reduce metadata contention.
