You're facing database scaling challenges. How can you work with developers for efficient solutions?

We should have open discussions to understand the specific issues and growth projections. Analyzing slow queries together helps pinpoint bottlenecks, and I can suggest indexing strategies to improve performance. Implementing caching mechanisms can reduce database load for frequently accessed data. We can also explore sharding and partitioning to distribute traffic effectively. Setting up monitoring tools will keep us informed about performance metrics. Lastly, embracing cloud solutions can provide scalability and flexibility. By working closely, we can create a robust, efficient database environment that supports our application’s needs.
