N+1 Query Problem After Cursor ORM Refactoring
After Cursor refactored your ORM queries, page load times increased dramatically. Database logs show hundreds of queries for operations that previously took just a few.
The AI-generated code is fetching related entities one-by-one instead of in batch, causing the classic N+1 problem.
Error Messages You Might See
Query timeout
High database load
Slow response time
Too many queries
Common Causes
- Removed eager loading (include/joins), forcing lazy loading in loops
- Fetching parent objects, then accessing child collections in template/code loop
- Using ORM methods inside loops instead of batch operations
- Relationship configuration changed to lazy-load by default
- Query builder include statement removed during refactoring
How to Fix It
Use eager loading: User.findAll({include: ['Posts', 'Comments']}) or joins. Batch operations outside loops. Use dataloader pattern for GraphQL. Monitor with console.time() around queries and count DB hits.

I enjoy solving complex engineering problems and designing systems that are maintainable, resilient, and built to scale.
Jacek Rozanski
Senior PHP/Symfony developer and DevOps engineer with 20+ years of professional experience, running opcode.pl (web development agency, est. 2004).
Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month.
What I bring to AI-built apps:
- I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0
- I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture)
- I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting
- I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth
Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code.
Based in Poland (CET timezone). Available for async work and calls during EU/US business hours.

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
How do I detect N+1 problems?
Enable query logging and count queries. N+1 means 1 query + N more. Use DevTools to see query count.
Is it always better to use joins?
Joins are faster but more memory. Sometimes batch separate queries. Test both approaches.
