ORM Optimization
ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) optimization refers to techniques and best practices for improving the performance, efficiency, and scalability of database interactions when using an ORM framework. It involves strategies to minimize database queries, reduce latency, and manage resources effectively while maintaining code maintainability. This includes optimizing query generation, caching, lazy/eager loading, indexing, and connection pooling.
Developers should learn ORM optimization when building data-intensive applications to prevent performance bottlenecks, especially in high-traffic systems where inefficient database access can lead to slow response times and scalability issues. It is crucial for web applications, APIs, and enterprise software using ORMs like Django ORM, SQLAlchemy, or Hibernate to ensure efficient data retrieval and manipulation, reducing server load and improving user experience.
