Database Optimization
The database is where most Rails performance lives or dies. We read query plans, fix indexing, untangle ActiveRecord misuse, and resolve locking and bloat issues before they become outages.
Plans
indexes, locking, and bloat
Sound familiar?
- →Database CPU pinned near 100%
- →Slow queries you can't explain from the code
- →Migrations that lock tables and cause downtime
- →Ever-growing tables with no archiving strategy
Our approach
- 01
Audit
pg_stat_statements, EXPLAIN ANALYZE and index usage to find the expensive queries.
- 02
Optimize
Composite and partial indexes, query rewrites, counter caches and safe zero-downtime migrations.
- 03
Sustain
Monitoring, strong_migrations and conventions so the team doesn't reintroduce problems.
