Why API Pagination Still Matters in 2026

What this episode covers

Lucas and Luna dive into API pagination strategies, exploring why cursor-based pagination is overtaking traditional offset-limit approaches. They discuss real-world trade-offs using examples from GitHub, Twitter, and Postgres databases, and explain how poor pagination can silently double your database load. The episode also covers cursor encoding, stability over ordered datasets, and the surprising cost of page numbers. Finally, they connect pagination to API design patterns like REST and GraphQL, and share when you might actually want offset pagination despite its flaws. #APIPagination #CursorBasedPagination #OffsetLimit #WebAPIs #REST #GraphQL #DatabasePerformance #APIDesign #PaginationPatterns #CursorEncoding #GitHubAPI #TwitterAPI #Postgres #FullTableScan #APIProtocols #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
