Python Tips
Use database connection pooling to reduce overhead
Add indexes to database fields used in filters and sorting
Cache expensive computations and database queries
Use generators for large datasets to save memory
Paginate API responses instead of returning everything
Move slow operations to background task queues
Serve static files through Nginx, not your Python app
Enable GZip compression in your web server
Disable debug mode in production environments
Use prepared statements to prevent SQL injection and improve speed
Profile your code to find actual bottlenecks before optimizing
Monitor slow queries with database logging and explain plans
