Strategic indexes for lightning-fast queries

Indexes are the secret to fast queries, but require strategic thinking. We analyze query patterns, identify which columns to index, choose appropriate index types (B-tree, hash, GIN, GiST), create composite indexes for complex queries, and balance read performance against write overhead. Our indexing strategies consider your specific workload—read-heavy vs write-heavy, query patterns, and data size. Proper indexing can turn a full table scan into an instant index lookup.

Everything you need to know
Indexes speed up reads but slow down writes (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE). Each index must be maintained. Too many indexes waste storage and hurt write performance. We index strategically based on query patterns.
Index on multiple columns (e.g., index on user_id and created_at). Useful for queries filtering on multiple columns. Column order matters—most selective column usually goes first.
Analyze slow query logs to see which columns appear in WHERE, JOIN, and ORDER BY clauses frequently. Columns with high selectivity (many unique values) benefit most from indexes.
Indexes need periodic maintenance—VACUUM and ANALYZE in PostgreSQL, OPTIMIZE TABLE in MySQL. We set up automatic maintenance and monitor index bloat and fragmentation.
