Performance Optimization of SaaS Database
Challenge:
A fast-growing online company was facing severe performance bottlenecks in its SaaS application:
- The database suffered from slow queries, inefficient indexing, and frequent overloads, leading to lagging application responses.
- This slowdown directly impacted customer satisfaction and engagement, resulting in operational inefficiency.
- The company needed a high-performance, scalable database solution to ensure faster response times and seamless user experiences.
Solution:
OKRUTI conducted an extensive database performance audit and optimization program to enhance efficiency, scalability, and speed.
Key initiatives included:
– SQL Query Optimization: Refactored inefficient SQL queries and implemented optimized indexing to significantly boost execution speed.
– Index Reclassification (PostgreSQL): Restructured and fine-tuned PostgreSQL index configurations to minimize search collisions and improve lookup performance.
– Caching with Redis & Caffeine: Introduced in-memory caching to reduce repetitive database hits, enabling faster data retrieval and response times.
– Load Balancing & Partitioning: Applied database load partitioning for better scalability, performance stability, and fault tolerance during high traffic periods.
Through these targeted optimizations, OKRUTI transformed the database into a high-performance, resilient, and scalable system.
Results achieved:
✔ 3x Faster Query Execution: Queries executed three times faster, dramatically improving database efficiency.
✔ Improved Scalability & Availability: Load balancing reduced strain on the database, ensuring continuous uptime and responsiveness.
✔ Enhanced Application Speed: The SaaS platform now delivers faster, smoother user experiences, even under peak loads.
✔ Higher Customer Satisfaction: The improved responsiveness led to greater user engagement and retention.
