Most engineers treat database indexes as magic bullets, but they often create more problems than they solve. In this episode, we look at how the B-tree index structure works under the hood, using a specific case of a logistics company that slowed down by adding too many indexes. We explore the trade-off between read speed and write latency, showing why your database might be choking on simple updates because of unused or redundant indexing strategies.
