Database optimization techniques

As your NestJS application scales, the efficiency of your database interactions becomes increasingly crucial. Poorly optimized database queries and structures can significantly slow down your application, leading to bottlenecks that affect the user experience. In this section, we’ll explore several techniques to optimize your database interactions, ensuring that your application remains fast and responsive as it grows.

Database optimization isn’t just about writing efficient queries—it’s about understanding the data structures, indexing, and caching strategies that can drastically reduce query times and improve overall performance. We’ll cover a range of techniques from indexing to query optimization, each aimed at making your database interactions as efficient as possible.
