This is where Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) come into play. They cache static content and enable lightning-fast delivery around the globe.This symbiosis reduces server load, boosts loading times, and ensures efficient content distribution. Since dynamic range is generated on-the-fly, it may have limited caching potential.

PostgreSQL uses the label “hostname” to denote a host connected to a computer network, enabling recognition of this particular entity in all forms of electronic communication. Such a solution must be part of a broader strategy that includes proper network configuration, firewall settings, and regular security audits.

Without build optimizations (incremental builds, caching, we will get to those soon) this will eventually become unmanageable as well — think about going through all images in a website: resizing, deleting, and/or creating new files over and over again.

Is this the best way to build a system, though? For example, you might need the data to be denormalized for performance, or the warehouse data might exist on a physically different system that can’t participate in a database join. From a technical perspective, attributes that change together should also be cached similarly.
