@alanonai: Engineering for Vibe Coders: Databse Indexing If your app is getting slower over time and you did not change anything, this is probably why. Most vibe-coded apps skip database indexes. At first, it feels fine. You have a small dataset, queries are fast, everything works. But under the hood, your database is scanning every row to find what you asked for. That is fine at 100 rows. It is a problem at 100,000. Suddenly your API slows down, your functions time out, and your costs start going up. Indexes fix this by giving your database a fast lookup path instead of searching everything. But here is the catch. Indexes only help if they match how you query your data. If you are filtering by user_id, you need an index on user_id. If you are sorting by created_at, that needs to be indexed too. If you are vibe coding and not thinking about indexes, your app is not fast. It is just small.
