Crucially, "performance" isn't defined.
The one that matters to me the most is developer time.
Write a damn SQL query. If it's too slow or the DB becomes a bottleneck, then reconsider.
- mistermann 13y agoAs usual "it depends" but yes, this is imho the the most important aspect (provided reasonable performance and sustainability is carefully taken into consideration). The older I get, the more tired I get of developers writing in-house apps that are never going to have more than 10 concurrent users, but they architect as if they are going to have 1000+ concurrent users, regardless of the additional cost or complexity....which is how relatively simple projects end up cost $100k+++ and become maintenance nightmares, and why simple change requests are often rejected because they would be "too complex".
