Large tables without indexes—list APIs timeout—teams then argue across ownership lines.
Data layer
DB Design & Optimization
App-layer tweaks won't hide a wrong schema or missing indexes. Clarify the boundary before choosing the build path.
Schema design, indexes and slow-query work alongside PHP apps.
Handover-ready code
Clear layout, naming and config so your team can continue.
Frameworks for fit
Laravel/ThinkPHP chosen by scenario—not fashion.
Data layer included
Schema and query paths designed with the app.
Data-layer issues
These usually show up before a project starts—or right after a rushed launch.
Poor types hurt storage/compare—it often surfaces only after production impact.
Unpaginated full scans—iteration and local integration slow down.
Careless cache causes inconsistency—users feel it as inconsistent data or UX.
Access-path-driven design
List hot queries; design indexes/tables accordingly; avoid N+1 in PHP; cache only invalidatable read models. Design tables/indexes from access paths—not giant ER diagrams first. Explain/rewrite hot SQL; add cache when needed.
