The Web Development Podcast with Fexingo: Frontend, Backend, and Modern Web Stack

Why Your Database Queries Are 10x Slower Than They Should Be


Listen Later

Lucas and Luna dig into a single overlooked setting — connection pooling — that silently throttles most web applications. Using a real 2025 incident where a 12-person startup saw API latency jump from 30ms to 1.2 seconds because their Postgres pool was misconfigured, they explain how pooling works, why ORMs hide it, and the one config change that fixed it. No theoretical lecture — just a concrete debugging story with a number you can check in your own stack today.
