Why Your Database Triggers Are Slowing Everything Down

Lucas and Luna dive into the hidden performance cost of database triggers, using a real-world example from a mid-size e-commerce company that lost 40% of its checkout throughput due to a single poorly designed trigger. They explain why triggers break your ability to reason about latency, how they create hidden bottlenecks under write-heavy workloads, and what to use instead—like application-layer event handlers or queue-based processing. If you're a backend engineer or data architect who's ever added a trigger 'just to be safe,' this episode will make you think twice. #DatabaseTriggers #SQLPerformance #WriteHeavyWorkloads #BackendEngineering #DataArchitecture #DatabaseDesign #TechPodcast #DatabaseTech #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology #DatabaseBottlenecks #Ecommerce #QueueBasedProcessing #EventDrivenArchitecture #ApplicationLayer #DatabaseLatency #TriggerOverhead Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
