Your database or the roundtrips are mostly not the performance factor nr. 1
- acdha 11y agoI wouldn't describe something which is a minor performance delta as a “really really bad idea” — save that for things which have reliability risks, security implications, etc. This is a tool which people should know about and consider when they have the right situation. I'm also not sure what you're basing the claim that “Your database or the roundtrips are mostly not the performance factor nr. 1” on, either – poor database usage is a notoriously common area for performance issues. Roundtrips are less common since things like unindexed or poor queries usually dominate first but it's certainly not hard to find examples of someone missing the problem when testing their app using a local database and then being reminded that latency matters the first time they try it using production-scale data on a real server.
