Query Optimization in Cloud SQL 🚀

Cloud SQL query optimization is critical for improving database performance and reducing latency. Here are key strategies to enhance query efficiency:

🔍 Common Optimization Techniques

• Indexing: Use indexes on frequently queried columns (e.g., user_id, created_at).
• Query Execution Plan: Analyze the plan using EXPLAIN to identify bottlenecks.
• Caching: Implement caching for repetitive read operations.

📊 Tools for Analysis

• Performance Schema: Monitor slow queries and resource usage.
• Cloud SQL Dashboard: Access real-time metrics and optimization suggestions.
