We hit these database issues when scaling applications:
- Excessive database locks
- Read-after-write consistency
- Index limitations

Read replicas are performance and a correctness trap in the same breath. Your user writes, reads back, and sees stale data. Route reads to the primary after writes, use sticky sessions, or design the UI around the lag. Pick one honestly. #DatabaseScaling #Replication #Architecture

OpenAI scales PostgreSQL for ChatGPT's 800M users using a single primary instance with multiple read replicas. This approach requires offloading some write-heavy workloads to Azure CosmosDB, sparking debate on its effectiveness and long-term implications. #DatabaseScaling 1/6

On scaling, the debate centered on when sharding is truly needed vs. scaling a single Postgres instance. While a single database can handle large loads, sharding is seen as beneficial for managing very large tables and improving performance at scale. #DatabaseScaling 2/5

Before scaling or moving to distributed DBs, optimize! Discussion highlights optimizing queries, indexing, and config first. Many companies overspend due to inefficient practices, not lack of scale. #DatabaseScaling 5/6

PgDog is a Rust-based PostgreSQL proxy that handles connection pooling, load balancing, and database sharding on commodity hardware - managing thousands of connections where pgbouncer falls short.
