To improve the speed of data transmission from the database to the user interface via Backend, the following methods can be applied:

  1. Caching — storing frequently requested data in memory (e.g., Redis, Memcached) to avoid querying the database every time.
  2. Query optimization — using indexes, avoiding redundant JOINs, selecting only necessary fields.
  3. Pagination and lazy loading — sending data in parts to prevent network and client overload.
  4. Asynchronous processing — using asynchronous frameworks (e.g., asyncio in Python) for parallel request handling.
  5. Data compression — enabling gzip or other compression methods at the HTTP level to reduce data volume.
  6. Using WebSocket or Server-Sent Events — for transmitting only changes rather than the entire dataset.

Example of simple caching using Redis in Python:

import redis

cache = redis.Redis(host='localhost', port=6379)

def get_data_from_db():
    # Simulate database query
    return {'key': 'value'}


def get_data():
    cached = cache.get('my_data')
    if cached:
        return cached
    data = get_data_from_db()
    cache.set('my_data', str(data), ex=60)  # cache for 60 seconds
    return data
