The Hidden Cost of Data
Every application starts with the same question: "Where does the data come from?" For most projects, the answer involves weeks of setup work before a single feature gets built.
The Traditional Workflow
- Choose a database (SQL? NoSQL? Which provider?)
- Design your schema
- Write migration scripts
- Seed test data
- Set up connection pooling
- Configure backups
- Now start building your actual feature
For production apps, this investment makes sense. But for prototypes, demos, testing, and educational projects, it's pure overhead.
