How I Achieved 60% Faster Queries with Indexing

Ever waited for a query to run and thought, "There’s gotta be a faster way"?

You’re not alone.

In this post, I dive into how I improved query performance by 60% with proper indexing.

If you’re working with databases and want to speed up your app’s performance, this is for you.

The Problem: Slow Queries

When your database grows, real-time app queries can slow down, sometimes taking forever to execute.

A simple query might be taking over 800ms—way too long!

The culprit? A missing index.

The Solution: Indexing

I show how adding an index to our Java Spring project transformed our query performance, making it 60% faster.
