Did you know that the
two main bottlenecks
for web app
performance are:
@JoeKarlsson1Source: https://medium.com/@addyosmani/the-cost-of-javascript-in-2018-7d8950fbb5d4
* Network speed
* Database execution speed

We can only
control one of
these things

@JoeKarlsson1
Pivot easier!
Easily change the shape of your data as your app evolves.
SQLMongoDB
{ 
a: “b”, 
c: “one”, 
e: “f”
}
{ 
a: “b”, 
c: 1, 
new: “no biggee”
}
ALTER TABLE `mydb`.`letters_table`
DROP COLUMN `e`,
ADD COLUMN `New` VARCHAR(45) NULL AFTER `C`,
CHANGE COLUMN `C` `C` INT NULL DEFAULT NULL ;

@JoeKarlsson1
Query faster!
Stop doing expensive joins to get your data.

Scale cheaper!
As the size of your server grows, scale horizontally.
