Optimize Database Performance in Ruby on Rails and ActiveRecord

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , , ,
In Rails, we're more likely to use SQL databases than other frameworks. Unlike NoSQL databases, which can be scaled horizontally with relative ease, SQL databases like PostgreSQL or MySQL are much less amenable to easy scaling.

This makes optimizing database performance critical for any…

The post also recommends rebooting your computer or console if the initial load makes it past 90 percent mark and then…
