In this article, we want to share our experience with fellow developers and offer insights using real-life examples on how to identify and optimize slow SQL queries, especially when working with relational database management systems like PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, etc.

Things you can do right now to learn new and valuable things that can improve your code.

Hello everyone, I've followed this thread yesterday and noticed a few very negative reactions towards the choice of Java. I follow Java evolution from far away, but it seemed like it was evolving in a good direction since the last few years, and that performance-wise it would make sense for the back-end of a Lemmy-like platform.

Is it indeed the case? I was just curious to see that much negativity towards one of the most popular languages.

Advances in the java programming language, version 16 and newer, slashed a million lines of code from my codebase. Maintaining my programs became easier overnight, due to this 1 secret trick: Records. 
Unfortunately version 16 was not LTS, so I had to wait until this year's release of version 21, which is LTS. 
 Go read the linked article. It explains Java Records in a very approachable manner.
