My colleague Brent solved a performance by creating a custom relation
One last solution that came to mind was to load all people, all contracts, and map them together manually. In the end that's exactly what I ended up doing, though I did it in the cleanest possible way: using custom relations.

Adam Wathan explain how can avoid re-rendering the entire UI everytime you click a link in Next.js
Next.js is such a wonderfully productive development experience and produces such incredibly fast websites that I just refused to believe it had to be this way. So I spent a few weeks researching, asking questions, and experimenting, and came up with these four patterns for persistent layouts in Next.js applications.

Mathias Hansen shares how API response time data is used at Geocodio and how to work with this kind of data in MySQL.
The API is the backbone of our business, so over the years we have continously worked to improve and ensure consistent performance. We look at many parameters such as uptime and error rates, but one of the key metrics is API response time. This is how we use this data.

Sebastian De Deyne explains how the live updating on Oh Dear status pages works.
We were originally going to use Vue for the pages, so we could make the entire view reactive so we could easily fetch and update data with AJAX or websockets. I started building the status page view, but quickly became hesitant about the decision to use Vue. It didn’t feel like the right tool for the job.

About a year ago, we released laravel-event-projector. It focused on adding projectors, an important concept in event sourcing, to Laravel.
After the release of the package, we continually kept improving it. We added aggregates, a way to test those, a brand new section in the our documentation that explains event sourcing from scratch, and DX improvements all across the board.
We now feel confident that the package is a good starting point for getting started with event sourcing in Laravel. That's why we're renaming the package to laravel-event-sourcing.
? If you need to process a lot of models, don't load them all into memory, but chunk them.

Unsung Laravel hero Joseph Silber opened up a very interesting PR to Laravel. Let's hope this one gets accepted.
Whereas the existing Collection class wraps a native array, the new LazyCollection class wraps a native iterator, while still providing most of the methods that we know and love from a regular collection.

Mohammed Said shares some solid tips on optimizing costs when working in a serverless environment like Laravel Vapor
Laravel Vapor uses different AWS resources to efficiently get your application up and running in the serverless cloud. The building block of the whole thing is AWS Lambda, it's where the actual computing happens. Calculating the cost of the compute part for your application can be a bit confusing, so let's simplify it a bit with an example.

Jonathan Reinink has added a very usefull metric to Laravel debugbar
Last week at Laracon US I gave a talk titled Eloquent Performance Patterns. In that talk I used a custom Laravel Debugbar metric I created to track how many Eloquent models were being hydrated throughout a request. I've had a lot of people asking about this, so today I submitted a pull request to the Laravel Debugbar to add this as an official metric.

I saw a conversation on Twitter the other day discussing how Laravel was slowing down a test suite. I decided I wanted to dig into this and see if there was anything to it.

Ire Aderinokun, Front-End Developer and User Interface Designer, explains how you can Lighthouse in CI.
Until recently, I also hadn't setup an official performance budget and enforced it. This isn’t to say that I never did performance audits. I frequently use tools like PageSpeed Insights and take the feedback to make improvements. But what I had never done was set a list of metrics that I needed the site to meet, and enforce them using some automated tool.

Jonathan Reinink wrote another awesome post on how to handle a complicated query.
I was asked recently how to calculate multiple totals (aggregates) in Laravel in the most efficient way. For example, maybe you have an email subscription service and want to display various totals based on your subscribers

When a request comes in your app will return a response. To create that response, your application has to do some work. Most likely queries will execute. This all takes some time. Wouldn't it be nice if the same request comes in, we can return the response the application has constructed previously?
Matt Allan explains why using an offset is slow when used on large datasets.
It turns out it’s easy to page through results without using offset. All we have to do is keep track of the last ID we saw, then filter the results so we only fetch rows we haven’t seen.

Grégoire Pineau explains how you can find the source of a segfault in PHP.
Sometimes, a segfault happens, but you don’t know where, and your PHP installation does not have tools to find it. Or sometime, you think PHP is hanging, but you don’t know where. You may use xdebug, but you don’t want to click so many times on the « next call » button.

On the Oh Dear! blog, Mattias Geniar explains how you can use our service to keep your Varnish cache warm.
Slow websites are annoying, right? We sure think so. One common solution is to introduce a caching proxy like Varnish to help cache pages and reduce your server load. The good news is, if you have Oh Dear!, you can let those 2 work together.
