May need to test application that speed or latency etc. with 100k or more than so how do you set records that exception?

That kind of testing would not happen on a developer laptop. I normally have a staging environment that duplicates production, including the database. The number of rows in a relational database shouldn’t affect app speed or latency at 10k vs 100k rows. I would expect the number of rows to affect performance logarithmically, if at all.
