5 Things That are Toxic to Scalability:
- Object Relational Mappers. Create complex queries that hard to optimize and tweak.
- Synchronous, Serial, Coupled or Locking Processes. Locks are like stop signs, traffic circles keep the traffic flowing. Row level locking is better than table level locking. Use async replication. Use eventual consistency for clusters.
