-Indexes improve read performance but come with costs. Every index consumes disk space and adds overhead to inserts, updates, and deletes. For AI applications that write frequently (storing every message, for example), be selective about which indexes you create. Monitor query performance and add indexes when you identify slow queries that would benefit. Advanced indexing strategies, including GIN indexes for JSONB, partial indexes, and vector indexes, are covered in the "Optimize performance, indexing, and scaling" module.
