But the number of processes is quite predictable:
on default PostgreSQL starts up with 5 processes:
one background-writer
one postmaster who masters the startup of additional progresses
one autovacuum-daemon
two processes which I have not leveled up enough to know what they are doing
And then there is one additional process for every client connection.
