Description: The N+1 query problem is a common phenomenon in the development of applications that interact with databases. It occurs when a system performs an initial query to retrieve a list of items, and then, for each of those items, executes additional queries to obtain related information. This pattern can result in an excessive number of database queries, which in turn can lead to poor performance and slow response times. The main characteristic of this problem is that, instead of optimizing queries to retrieve all necessary information in a single operation, the system is forced to perform multiple queries, increasing the load on the database and potentially affecting user experience. The relevance of the N+1 query problem lies in its direct impact on the efficiency of web applications, especially those handling large volumes of data or requiring fast and smooth interactions. Therefore, it is crucial for developers to be aware of this problem and seek appropriate solutions during the design and development phase of their applications, implementing optimization techniques such as eager loading or query batching.
