Lo que aprenderás
✓Implement cursor and keyset pagination with SQLAlchemy 2.0 (17x faster than OFFSET on deep pages) with composite cursors for secondary sort
✓Model soft deletes with partial indexes and avoid the anti-patterns that destroy performance (plus knowing when to use archive tables or partitioning instead)
✓Design audit logs with PostgreSQL triggers, history tables, or lightweight event sourcing, choosing the right approach per case
✓Implement multi-tenancy correctly with Row-Level Security (RLS), schema-per-tenant, or shared schema — with quantified trade-offs
✓Execute zero-downtime migrations with expand-contract, `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY`, `lock_timeout`, and `statement_timeout` using Alembic in production
✓Handle concurrent updates with optimistic locking (version columns) and translate `StaleDataError` to HTTP 409 with useful client feedback
✓Version schemas with backward-compatible changes, deprecation strategies, and contract testing
✓Run bulk operations at PostgreSQL speed: `COPY` with `copy_expert`, batch inserts, upserts with `ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE`, with measured benchmarks
✓Build a production-ready multi-tenant SaaS API consolidating all seven patterns with a live zero-downtime migration
¿Para quién es?
- •Senior backend Python developers with FastAPI apps in production who have hit real problems: slow deep-page pagination, leaky multi-tenancy, migrations that broke deploys
- •Engineers who completed the PostgreSQL & SQLAlchemy and Database Performance guides and need the patterns that come after "you know how to optimize queries"
- •Engineers building multi-tenant SaaS who need to choose an isolation architecture (RLS vs schema-per-tenant vs shared schema)
- •Tech leads writing team guidelines for how pagination, soft deletes, and migrations should be done
- •Developers preparing for senior backend interviews at SaaS companies where cursor pagination, RLS, and zero-downtime migrations are asked
- •Anyone who has had to run an `ALTER TABLE` in production at 3am and would rather not repeat the experience
Requisitos
- •PostgreSQL & SQLAlchemy guide completed (or equivalent: SQLAlchemy 2.0 ORM with relationships, basic Alembic, ACID, isolation levels)
- •Database Performance & Query Tuning guide completed (or equivalent: EXPLAIN ANALYZE, advanced indexing, N+1 with SQLAlchemy)
- •Functional FastAPI app with real data (>100k rows in at least one table) for hands-on practice
- •PostgreSQL 14+ installed locally or in Docker (some RLS features require 14+)
- •Familiarity with `psql`, Alembic CLI, and FastAPI dependency injection
- •Comfort with async/await in Python
