Kamran Ahmed ee4b7305a2 Adds ByteByteGo guides and links (#106)
This PR adds all the guides from [Visual
Guides](https://bytebytego.com/guides/) section on bytebytego to the
repository with proper links.

- [x] Markdown files for guides and categories are placed inside
`data/guides` and `data/categories`
- [x] Guide links in readme are auto-generated using
`scripts/readme.ts`. Everytime you run the script `npm run
update-readme`, it reads the categories and guides from the above
mentioned folders, generate production links for guides and categories
and populate the table of content in the readme. This ensures that any
future guides and categories will automatically get added to the readme.
- [x] Sorting inside the readme matches the actual category and guides
sorting on production

Pre-compute complex query results and store them for faster access.

3. Denormalization

Reduce complex joins to improve query performance.

4. Vertical Scaling

Boost your database server by adding more CPU, RAM, or storage.

5. Caching

Store frequently accessed data in a faster storage layer to reduce database load.

6. Replication

Create replicas of your primary database on different servers for scaling the reads.

7. Sharding

Split your database tables into smaller pieces and spread them across servers. Used for scaling the writes as well as the reads.
