## [Adding additional field to an existing API (or new API)](internal/adding-a-new-field-readme.md) ## Performance
### Database Indexes
Most of the indexes in the database are for enforcing data constraints.
We have not added indexes for improving performance because we do not have a way
to measure and test these types of indexes.
We want a way to test and verify that indexes added to improve performance are actually being used by the system.
And we want these same tests to fail when an index stops being used as we evolve the system.
This is on our roadmap but we have not started work on it yet.
