Database Query Performance Degraded
After Cursor refactored your database query code, certain queries have become significantly slower. Page loads that were previously fast now timeout or feel laggy.
The generated queries are inefficient or missing important indexes.
Error Messages You Might See
Query timeout
Slow query detected
Connection timeout
Too many rows returned
Common Causes
- Removed index on frequently filtered column
- Changed query structure to avoid index (e.g., function on indexed column)
- Added unnecessary JOINs or subqueries
- Changed from prepared statements to concatenated queries
- Missing LIMIT clause fetching entire result set
How to Fix It
Analyze query with EXPLAIN: EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT .... Look for sequential scans that should be index scans. Add indexes: CREATE INDEX idx_name ON table(column). Verify prepared statements used. Add LIMIT to prevent full table scans.

I'm fronted developer with 10+ years of experience with big projects. I have small backend background too
Alvin Voo
I’ve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decade—from the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing.
My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream.
What I bring to your project:
Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causes—like significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins.
Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams.
Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.

Caio Rodrigues
I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
How do I identify slow queries?
Enable slow query log. Use EXPLAIN ANALYZE. Check application logs for query duration.
When should I add an index?
On columns used in WHERE, JOIN, ORDER BY. Not on columns with low cardinality. Test improvement vs write cost.
