Wow, thanks for all the awesome replies, everyone! This is exactly the kind of discussion I was hoping for.
I’ve been playing around with *Redis* for caching, and it’s been a game-changer so far. Also, tried partitioning my dataset, and the speed improvement is insane.
Quick question though—anyone have experience with *columnar databases* like Redshift? I’m curious how they compare to traditional row-based DBs for data retrieval.
And yeah, SQL still feels like it’s trolling me sometimes, but your tips on query optimization are helping a ton. Cheers!
