Getting started with Django, PostgreSQL, and Readyset
Real-world applications face performance challenges with growing data and user traffic. Caching mitigates these challenges by storing frequently accessed data, reducing database fetches, improving response times, and enhancing application scalability, reliability, and user experience. Readyset is a caching engine for Postgres and MySQL databases, requiring minimal adjustments to existing setups. Its wire-compatible design means that the only modification necessary is to adjust the connection st

Optimizing SQL Pagination in Postgres
SQL pagination is a technique to retrieve a subset of records from a Postgres table or result set. It allows you to divide large datasets into smaller, manageable chunks called "pages" and retrieve them one page at a time. Understanding Pagination in Postgres Pagination is commonly used in applications that display data in a paginated format, such as search results, product listings, or user records. It helps improve performance and user experience by loading and displaying only a portion o

Mastering Query Rewriting for Faster PostgreSQL Performance
When you first spin up your app, the emphasis is on getting started and getting data to your clients. But when you don’t have throughput, you are also not going to have enough concurrency to unveil bad queries. But then you have success. And success means data. More users, more interactions, more everything. Suddenly, queries that performed fine are struggling under the load, hurting performance and scalability. This is all going to mean a far worse user experience when much higher costs becaus

How to Solve for the N+1 Query Problem: Investigating and Optimizing Over-Querying
Imagine you're running a popular e-commerce online bookstore that offers a vast collection of titles and authors to a growing user base. However, you've noticed a troubling trend over the past few months: the website is gradually slowing down, especially during peak hours when users browse various book categories. After an initial investigation, you find that the cause of the slowdown isn't an increase in user traffic or a lack of server resources. Instead, it's rooted in the very foundation of

A Practical Guide to Caching: What to Cache and When
Caching is a Goldilocks problem. Caching too much leads to stale data, memory bloat, and a lot of cache management. Caching too little leads to longer latencies, higher database load, and the need to provision more and more storage. The aim is to cache just right, optimize cache performance, minimize database load, and enhance overall system efficiency. This is a lot easier said than done. How do you know what to cache and when? Modern databases help you understand the usage patterns of your
