Effective Queries with Rails and PostgreSQL
Your first impression may be that it's better to add indexes to every field in a database. However, first of all, only one of the defined indexes is working here (see the compound index section). Furthermore, indexes can slow down queries if there are not many records in the database, and each index takes up space in a computer's memory. Often, the size of the indexes may be larger than the amount of the data stored in a database. You can install the "rails-pg-extras" gem to get more information. I recommend that you carefully study the documentation of this gem, as it contains many useful functions that will make your work with the database as efficient as possible.

Slow query. Should add indexes?
There are tools available which can look at your Postgres logs and tell you if you need to add indexes, I've used https://github.com/ankane/pghero before and it seems decent.

Check why Django app is slow in production
If you are using PostgreSQL you can enable logging of slow queries and connect to the server with pghero (https://github.com/ankane/pghero) and check top queries by the number of requests and total usage time. Also, you can just enable logging of queries in Django, and on each request, you will have a list of queries on development, sometimes it's just a missing select_related of prefetch_related to increase performance, or you need to create a complex index.
