Optimizing Database Queries in Laravel Eloquent
It is easy to write slow queries without realizing it, especially when an application grows and more data is added. Eloquent gives you tools to express queries clearly while still keeping them efficient.
We look at eager loading to avoid the N plus 1 problem, when to use raw queries, and how to select only the columns you actually need. Indexing basics are also covered so you know when to talk to your database directly.
Even small improvements at the query level can have a big effect on perceived performance for your users.
