Database Performance at Scale with Tyler Benfield

Señors @ Scale host Neciu Dan sits down with Tyler Benfield, Staff Software Engineer at Prisma, to go deep on database performance. Tyler’s path into databases started at Penske Racing, writing trackside software for NASCAR pit stops, and eventually led him into query optimization, connection pooling, and building Prisma Postgres from scratch. From the most common ORM anti-patterns to scaling Postgres on bare metal with memory snapshots, this is the database conversation most frontend developers never get.
