Annotate VS bullet

gem "annotate" - https://github.com/ctran/annotate_models | Adds DB-schema comments to models. May be unnecessary on RubyMine, YMMW.

I believe Ctran is aware of this based on his response in this issue https://github.com/ctran/annotate_models/issues/913

A gem that's pretty useful alongside this one is the annotation gem -- it prefixes models with their specific schema dump (as comments) and then updates those descriptive comments on migration. It's one of my go-to gems to install when I rotate onto a new-to-me Rails project (or start a new one) and I'm working to understand the data model.

Have you looked at annotate for inspiration?

I get it, though. Sounds like you're used to seeing every column definition in there. And that would be handy. There is a gem that you might like: https://github.com/ctran/annotate_models

Rails has Bullet[0] to help identify and warn you against N+1

Does Django have anything active? Quick search revealed nplusone[1] but its been dead since 2018.

Without seeing more of the app, it's tough to say for certain, but one gem you might find helpful is the [bullet](https://github.com/flyerhzm/bullet) gem -- set this up in the app then start browsing around the app in development. If you have any N+1 queries or other minor optimizations that could be done it will inform you about them.

Getting rid of N+1 queries - This can help improve the speed of an app. The Bullet or Prosopite gems can give a lending hand here. The N+1 Dilemma — Bullet or Prosopite? entails a brief comparison of both.

There's a Ruby gem called Bullet that identifies and warns developers about N+1 problems. You can also have it fail tests if detected.

I don't know if the approach is possible with every ORM or if it's just leveraging some Ruby perks, but I can't think of a good reason why you wouldn't use the equivalent everywhere.

You might consider adding the bullet gem as a development requirement and see what it tells you, it's generally pretty good at spotting n-queries and letting you know how to fix them.

As a Rails developer, recently I found Bullet [0] which helps massively in dealing with eager loading. For some reason I expected the framework to manage this sort of thing for me, even when Rails actually does a ton out of the box already. Only while refactoring I picked up on queries dragging performance. Oh well...

This is good advice, it'll likely pick out some glaring issues right away. I would generally recommend looking at DB queries here too and recommend Bullet, but most software like DataDog, AppSignal etc will often also point N+1 and issues like it out.

In order to find all those N + 1 queries that are slowing down in your application, the community recommends using the Bullet gem.
