Here are the most important ways to improve your database performance:
๐ญ. ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ด
Add indexes to columns you frequently search, filter, or join. Think of indexes as the book's table of contents - they help the database find information without scanning every record. But remember: too many indexes slow down write operations.
๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐ฝ: Regularly drop unused indexes. They waste space and slow down writing without providing any benefit.
๐ฎ. ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐
Pre-compute and store complex query results. This saves processing time when users need the data again. Schedule regular refreshes to keep the data current.
๐ฏ. ๐ฉ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด
Add more CPU, RAM, or faster storage to your database server. This is the most straightforward approach, but has physical and cost limitations.
๐ฐ. ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป
Duplicate some data to reduce joins. This technique trades storage space for speed and works well when reads outnumber writes significantly.
๐ฑ. ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด
Store frequently accessed data in memory. This reduces disk I/O and dramatically speeds up read operations. Popular options include Redis and Memcached.
๐ฒ. ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป
Create copies of your database to distribute read operations. This works well for read-heavy workloads but requires managing data consistency.
๐ณ. ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด
Split your database horizontally across multiple servers. Each shard contains a subset of your data based on a key like user_id or geography. This distributes both read and write loads.
๐ด. ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด
Divide large tables into smaller, more manageable pieces within the same database. This improves query and maintenance operations on huge tables.

๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐. Use EXPLAIN ANALYZE to see precisely how your database executes queries. This reveals hidden bottlenecks and helps you target optimization efforts where they matter most.
๐๐๐ผ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฏ๐พ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐. These run once for every row the outer query returns, creating a performance nightmare. Rewrite them as JOINs for dramatic speed improvements.
