Performance Optimization

🚀 Best Practices

  1. Use appropriate engines for different data types
  2. Implement connection pooling for high-traffic apps
  3. Cache frequently accessed data in Redis
  4. Use read replicas for scaling read operations
  5. Monitor and optimize slow queries

📈 Monitoring Metrics

  • Query execution time
  • Connection pool utilization
  • Cache hit/miss ratios
  • Transaction throughput
  • Error rates and patterns

Getting Started

  1. Configure Database Engines: Set up connection details in mcp-config.toml
  2. Test Connections: Use health check tools to verify connectivity
  3. Implement Workflows: Design multi-engine workflows for your use case
  4. Monitor Performance: Set up monitoring and alerting
  5. Scale Operations: Use connection pooling and read replicas
