Database Performance Tuning and Scaling Questions
System-level performance work beyond a single query: configuration and resource tuning, capacity planning, handling large data volumes, and scaling read and write throughput. Covers identifying bottlenecks, growth management, the vertical-versus-horizontal scaling decision, materialized views for expensive queries, and maintenance work such as vacuuming, index rebuilds, bulk loads, and safe schema changes on large tables. Tests whether a candidate can keep a database healthy as load grows.
