Performance Testing Fastify App Builds & Database Connections

1. 1Build a Fastify app with a database connection to test its performance
2. 2Run performance tests using tools like Autocannon or Apache Bench to measure request latency
3. 3Configure your database connection to optimize performance, considering factors like connection pooling
4. 4Test the performance difference between using a local database and a cloud-based database like Supabase
5. 5Compare the results to identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement

Backend developers and DevOps engineers can benefit from this lesson to ensure their Fastify applications are performing optimally, especially when connecting to databases like Supabase.

💡 Supabase can be ~57× slower per request compared to local databases, adding ~61ms latency
