Inefficient database performance can lead to user wait times and loss of customers, prompting businesses to invest heavily in optimization.
Database management systems market grew from $46 billion in 2018 to $103.2 billion in 2023, reflecting the importance of database efficiency.
Challenges in working with large databases include unoptimized structures, insufficient resources, poor data quality, scaling issues, and query bottlenecks.
Optimizing queries, improving architecture, and scaling can address database issues unless the wrong type of database is chosen.
Choosing a database tailored to the data type and system needs is crucial for optimal performance, e.g., relational databases, NoSQL databases, or time series databases.
Maintaining stable data processing speed involves optimizing queries, balancing indexing, planning for scalability, and monitoring performance.
Continuous architecture improvement, query optimization, and readiness for scaling are key for efficient systems handling billions of records.
