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.

15+ years shipping production infrastructure for startups. Former CTO at qed.builders (acquired by The Sandbox).
Cursor ambassador and agentic tooling builder.
I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

I am a technologist and product builder dedicated to creating high-impact solutions at the intersection of AI and specialized markets. Currently, I am focused on PropScan (EstateGuard), an AI-driven SaaS platform tailored for the Japanese real estate industry, and exploring the potential of Archify.
As an INFJ-T, I approach development with a "systems-thinking" mindset—balancing technical precision with a deep understanding of user needs. I particularly enjoy the challenge of architecting Vertical AI SaaS and optimizing Small Language Models (SLMs) to solve specific, real-world business problems. Whether I'm in a CTO-level leadership role or hands-on with the code, I thrive on building tools that turn complex data into actionable value.
You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.
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.
