I’ve been working on a project with Leah Lundqvist for a few months now, and she wrote an article about one of the technical optimizations we made.

With some neat tricks, you can significantly decrease the column storage size. If you’re using Drizzle, PlanetScale, and ULID identifiers check it out!
