### Working with Relational Databases

When you're building [business software development](https://jetthoughts.com/blog/best-practices-for-optimizing-ruby-on-rails-performance/), understanding relational databases is key. You need to know how to store, retrieve, and manipulate data efficiently. Get comfy with SQL. It's the language that talks to your database. MySQL and PostgreSQL are your go-tos. Learn how they work and how to set them up.

### Leveraging GraphQL for Efficiency

GraphQL can change how you get data from the server. It lets you ask for exactly what you need, which means less data gets sent. This makes things faster. Some apps using GraphQL have seen response times improve by up to 30%. It's like ordering exactly what you want from a menu instead of getting the whole buffet. This is a great way to improve [restaurant feedback software](https://jetthoughts.com/blog/best-practices-for-optimizing-ruby-on-rails-performance/) and other applications.

- **Static content sites.** If your pages rarely change and don't need real-time updates, Turbo Drive adds 15KB of JavaScript overhead for minimal benefit. Traditional server rendering with aggressive HTTP caching is simpler and faster.
- **Apps where you haven't solved N+1 queries yet.** Turbo Streams amplify existing performance problems. If your partials trigger N+1 queries, broadcasting those partials to 100 users multiplies the damage. Fix your [N+1 query patterns](/blog/how-avoid-n-1-keep-your-ruby-on-rails-controller-clean/) before adding real-time updates.

For teams evaluating broader Rails performance optimization beyond Turbo, our guide on [optimizing Ruby on Rails performance](/blog/best-practices-for-optimizing-ruby-on-rails-performance/) covers database, caching, and application-level patterns.
