    When releasing a new application (or feature) I've always loaded each table in my development environments database with a few million rows. Tools like Python's Factory Boy [1] or Ruby's Factory Bot [2] make this trivial.

    After the data is loaded up, start navigating through the application and it will become evident where improvements need to be made. Tools like Django Debug Toolbar [3] help expose where the bad ORM calls are or also by tailing Postgres log files.
