Is it realistic to run 2 queries per request? I'm wanting to query something like SELECT id FROM projects WHERE url = ? then SELECT something FROM metadata WHERE id = ? using that ID (where there could be multiple somethings in the latter table).
I'm worried this design may bottleneck me. My last experience with databases was PHP/MySQL era, and the sheer number of queries ran on pageload was the most common bottleneck for me back then. Is this an acceptable pattern?
