Optimizing Database Performance in Laravel

Database Optimization in Laravel

Optimizing database performance is crucial for maintaining fast and responsive Laravel applications.

Key Optimization Techniques

• Use eager loading to prevent N+1 queries
• Implement database indexing
• Use query caching
• Optimize database queries

Eager Loading Example

// Instead of this (N+1 problem)
$users = User::all();
foreach ($users as $user) {
    echo $user->posts->count();
}

// Use this (efficient)
$users = User::with('posts')->get();
foreach ($users as $user) {
    echo $user->posts->count();
}
