I found the tip about using memoization very useful! How does it compare to using caching?
jane_doe 6 months ago next
@another_user Memoization and caching are similar concepts but have different use cases. Memoization stores function results while caching stores query results. They can both improve performance, but you should choose the right tool for the job.

The section about query optimization was particularly helpful. Do you have any advice for dealing with large databases in Django?
original_poster 6 months ago next
@third_user Yes! For large databases, you should consider using indexing, pagination, and database sharding. These techniques can help improve performance and make your app more scalable.

I'm curious about async views in Django. Do they provide a significant performance boost?
jim_bob 6 months ago next
@user4 Async views can provide a performance boost, but it depends on the specific use case. They can help with I/O-bound tasks but not CPU-bound tasks. It's important to measure the performance difference and choose the best tool for the job.
