## 2024-10-24 - Streamlit Database Fetch Caching
**Learning:** In Streamlit dashboards, placing `pd.read_sql()` directly in the main script execution path without caching causes the full dataset to be queried from the database and downloaded over the network on every single widget interaction (re-render). This creates a massive performance bottleneck as the data volume grows.
**Action:** Always wrap expensive data fetching operations (like `pd.read_sql`) in Streamlit with `@st.cache_data(ttl=X)` to ensure the data is fetched only once or periodically, making widget interactions lightning fast.
## 2024-10-25 - Iterrows Anti-Pattern in ETL Pipelines
**Learning:** In Airflow ETL jobs where data is passed as JSON strings via XComs and parsed back into lists of dictionaries, it's a massive performance bottleneck to convert that list into a Pandas DataFrame just to iterate over it row-by-row using `df.iterrows()` to prepare data for bulk database inserts. `df.iterrows()` creates a new Pandas Series object for every row, making it exceptionally slow.
**Action:** When preparing data for bulk inserts (like psycopg2's `execute_values`), iterate directly over the native Python list of dictionaries using `for row in data:` instead of converting to Pandas and using `iterrows()`. This provides a >100x speedup in iteration time.
