Crucial Pitfalls in Relational Database Indexing

In an attempt to speed up slow queries, engineers often over-index their tables. This creates bloated databases where every insert operation incurs heavy write-penalties.

Composite Indexing Strategies

Instead of single-column indexes, we rigorously analyze query planners to construct composite indexes that cover the most frequent read paths, while explicitly dropping redundant indexes that slow down our high-velocity ingestion pipelines.
