Backend Dev: Too many database queries, no caching, and inefficient API calls. Founder: So how do we fix it? Backend Dev: >> Cache frequently used data (Redis). >> Optimize DB queries (Indexes, avoid N+1 queries). >> Use pagination to limit large dataset queries. Founder: ...You mean, I don't need to spend more money? Backend Dev: Exactly. Lesson: Scaling isn't about adding more power it's about optimizing what you have first.
