Repeatedly called endpoints without caching increase database load

warning
performanceUpdated Mar 22, 2026(via Exa)
How to detect:

Even with optimized queries, endpoints that are repeatedly called hit the database unnecessarily on every request, increasing database load and maintaining higher latency than necessary for frequently accessed data.

Recommended action:

Implement caching layer using Redis or similar tools to cache API responses and expensive query results. Cache frequently accessed endpoints and queries to reduce database load and improve response times for repeated requests.
