Tackling performance issues Looking at server statistics, the Vulkan database alone is serving up to 3 million requests per month. A number I would’ve never imagined when I first created this back in 2016. It’s quickly approaching 50k reports and one drawback of such a huge trove of data in combination with that many requests: Performance issues. The database server often can’t handle the traffic and when several people run expensive queries, the database might even run into timeouts.
