Dev Day 2018 Berlin - Talk about Database Indexing by Kai Sassnowski (Wycomco)

"Things Every Developer Absolutely, Positively Needs To Know About Database Indexing" - Talk by Kai Sassnowski

About the talk:

This talk dives deep into a topic that, sadly developers don’t know enough about: database indexing. Indexing is much more nuanced than throwing an index at every column in your WHERE-clause and hoping that it sticks. Since poor query performance can be the difference between an application feeling snappy and being literally unusable, it is imperative that we as developers know how to properly index a database.

We will take a look at how indexes work internally, common pitfalls when designing indexes and what all of this means for us in practice.

After this talk you will be well equipped to create well-designed indexes and confidently debug slow queries in your applications.
