Slow Database = Slow Application by Connor McDonald

Well done! You've come up with the killer idea for 2022! You've got the best UI design anyone has ever seen! Your modern application ticks all the boxes - serverless, functional, kubernetes, kafka, microservices, API-based, the list goes on. And it runs on every OS and every type of device! But unfortunately ... all of this counts for NOTHING if your data access is slow. And speeding up data access typically means understanding the fundamentals of how SQL is processed by the database. For novice developers, SQL can be hard to understand and sometimes totally hidden from view under an ORM. This session will peel back the covers to show how SQL is processed, how to avoid getting hacked, and how to get data back to your application in a snappy fashion.
