Someone asked a question on Twitter and I thought it's interesting to answer it here in the show.
I have a 2 million row table used in my CRUD python app, I’m worried that as the table grows my inserts will slow down, should I consider sharding my database or partition the table? thank you
* inserts are fast, queries are slow 0:00
* inserts can be slow 3:00
* indexes/stored procedures
* selects, updates and deletes can be slow 12:00
* add proper indexes.
* simplicity wins, premature optimization is bad 15:20
* crazy things that people say as microservices day 1 scares me
