Denormalization: Balancing Performance and Efficiency
Denormalization: Balancing Performance and Efficiency
The Art of Denormalization ⚖️
Denormalization involves adding redundancy to improve performance. It might seem counterintuitive, but it’s essential for optimizing read-heavy applications.
Why Consider Denormalization?
- Improves Query Performance: Reduces the need for complex joins.
- Simplifies Queries: Makes data retrieval faster and easier.
Denormalization Strategies:
- Duplicate Data: Store the same data in multiple locations.
- Pre-compute Aggregations: Store results of calculations.
Tips for Effective Denormalization:
- Assess Your Needs: Only denormalize if it significantly improves performance.
- Monitor Impact: Regularly review the impact on performance.
