Today I will guide you how to optimize response speed and query in Superset
1.Optimize the database query side
- Use `JOINs` instead of `subqueries` when possible
- Avoid using `SELECT *` and select only necessary columns
- Use `EXPLAIN` to analyze queries
- Avoid using functions on columns in `WHERE` clauses
- Indexing
- Materialized views
2.Optimize the Superset side
- Update to the latest version
- Set up the `GLOBAL_ASYNC_QUERIES` to use async queries
- Set up the `SQLLAB_TIMEOUT` and `SUPERSET_WEBSERVER_TIMEOUT`
- Disable unnecessary features by `FEATURE_FLAGS`
- Set up the `WSGI` instead of the Flask (eg. `Gunicorn`)
- Run `superset db upgrade` to update the metadata database
