Abstraction boundaries are optimization boundaries

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-26 12:12:10

Abstraction boundaries are optimization boundaries The N+1 query problem occurs when your application code sends one SQL query per element in a collection. The N queries are redundant; since all of the data is in the database already, a single query should be enough. This problem is usually caused by a leaky abstraction; the ORM, or whatever database abstraction you are using, can’t anticipate that it would need to send N queries, so it can’t automatically optimize this down to a single query.
