This is your select:

ORDER BY "Log"."createdAt" DESC
LIMIT 10
This is your index:
CREATE INDEX "Log_targetId_targetType_idx"
ON "Log"
USING btree
("targetId", "targetType" COLLATE pg_catalog."default");
Unfortunately, this won't help you. You are not matching on any IDs you
indexed, aside from joining against the article table. You have no WHERE
clause to restrict the data set, so it absolutely must read the entire
table to find the most recent records. Without an index on "createdAt",
how is it supposed to know what the ten most recent records are?
Add an index to the createdAt column:
CREATE INDEX idx_log_createdat ON "Log" (createdAt DESC);
Using that, it should get the ten most recent Log records almost
immediately, including associated article content.
