I received much feedback about resolving the N+1 problem without updating the code. So I have decided to give another writing round to elaborate on the implementation. Please have a look and let me know what you think.

Enhanced ActiveRecord preloading

Thank you for sharing this with me! It seems that https://github.com/salsify/goldiloader gem does the same as https://github.com/DmitryTsepelev/ar_lazy_preload. It would be great to compare both solutions.
N+1 problem will never be an issue with N1Loader gem

Sorry, seems my post wasn't clear at all. So https://github.com/salsify/goldiloader is great indeed! But it only preloads automatically for default ActiveRecord associations without the need of you to do it on your own.
Prosopite is trending on GitHub! Thank you!

Prosopite looks cool, it's is similar to https://github.com/salsify/goldiloader, though goldiloader will also rewrite the query to address the N+1 issue. You should be able to use both and verify goldiloader is working by checking that prosopite logs no N+1 queries.
