Building Scalable Database Schemas

A well-designed database schema is the foundation of any scalable application. In this guide, we'll explore best practices for designing schemas that can grow with your needs.

Normalization

Proper normalization is key to avoiding data redundancy and maintaining consistency.

Indexing Strategy

Implement proper indexing:

  • Index frequently queried columns
  • Use composite indexes for common queries
  • Monitor query performance
  • Partitioning

    For large tables, consider partitioning strategies to improve query performance.

    Monitoring and Optimization

    Regularly monitor your database performance and optimize as needed.

    Good schema design now saves headaches later!
