How does this skill help with database performance?

It provides standardized patterns for implementing read replicas, horizontal sharding, and CQRS to distribute database load and optimize data access speeds.

When should I use horizontal scaling over vertical?

The skill provides a framework to determine when to 'scale out' for better fault tolerance and infinite growth versus 'scaling up' for simpler, hardware-limited performance gains.

Does it support specific caching tools?

It includes implementation patterns for Redis, CDN integration, and various caching architectures such as cache-aside, write-through, and write-behind.

Can it help migrate from monolith to microservices?

Yes, it offers specific guidance on stateless design, horizontal scaling strategies, and asynchronous processing which are essential for microservice migrations.
