Put business logic in the application, not the database
SMRTR summary
Database queries with complex joins and filtering can strain resources. To alleviate this, move business logic to the application layer by:
1. Performing simple queries and filtering in the app.
2. Doing calculations on query results in the app, not the database.
3. Moving join operations to the app when possible.
This approach reduces dependency on database resources, increases use of application resources, and improves scalability. While some complex queries may still be necessary, minimizing them provides greater flexibility for growing applications.
