Faster by Doing Less: How Harper 5.2 Engineers Database Performance

Harper 5.2 attacks database performance on three fronts: a per-worker record cache validated through lock-free atomic version slots, isolated commit scheduling to keep database writes off the application thread, and query planner improvements that route through the shortest available data path.
