Pros

  • +NET), or ActiveRecord (Ruby on Rails)
  • +Related to: object-relational-mapping, database-optimization

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Eager Loading

Developers should use eager loading when building applications that require efficient data retrieval for related entities, such as in web APIs, reporting tools, or data-intensive dashboards

Pros

  • +It is particularly beneficial in scenarios where you know in advance that related data will be needed, such as displaying a list of blog posts with their comments or user profiles with associated orders
  • +Related to: object-relational-mapping, database-optimization

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
