Indexes are one of the tools MySQL uses to make data access faster. Without them, the database engine has to scan every row in a table to find matching records. This kind of full scan can be slow, especially when dealing with large datasets. Indexes allow MySQL to skip most of the table and go straight to the rows it needs. They're not just about speed, though. Indexes also help with enforcing uniqueness, sorting results, and supporting specific types of queries. But they come with trade-offs, like extra storage use and slower write operations.

In software development, delivering high-quality products efficiently is essential. The DORA framework provides metrics designed to help teams evaluate and improve their delivery practices. Developed by DevOps Research and Assessments, these metrics offer clear insights into key performance areas. Using the DORA framework can help your team identify weaknesses, optimize workflows, and achieve better results in your software projects. Let's explore what these metrics are and how they can help your team deliver better software, faster.

Becoming an engineering manager is not just about climbing the ladder. It is a complete shift in responsibility. You are no longer measured by the code you write or the tasks you complete. Now you are accountable for how the entire team performs. You can delegate work, but you are still responsible for results. If no one owns a problem, you do. That is not an extra detail, that is the job.

Working with cache can drastically improve the performance of an application, especially when dealing with data that doesn't change too often. While Laravel provides solid support for caching through multiple drivers, it doesn't offer native support for cache tags. To work around this limitation, we'll integrate Symfony's Cache component, which brings tag support and fits well into the repository pattern we've already established. In this article, we'll build on the existing structure and focus on using cache tags to group and clear related data more efficiently.
