Last week I wrote Paginating the results of an SQL query. I wanted to discuss an old problem, which is not fancy because it’s not related to some emerging technology. Yet, an impressive amount of websites and applications paginate results in a wrong way, causing an excessive resource usage, and quite often performance problems.
Articles from the web
- Technical Debt: Poor System Understanding While Time Constrained. Technical debt is a common, big problem today. The author says it derives from a poor system understanding in combination with limited time, and analyses the tradeoffs.

- How to Autoscale ProxySQL in the cloud. Failover and load balancing are essential to scale a business. But proxy solutions also need to scale.

Beforehand, Vicentiu Ciorbaru – software engineer at MariaDB Foundation – will give the talk MariaDB and MySQL – What Statistics Optimizer Needs Or When and How Not to Use Indexes.
