pellet VS django-template-partials

Simple middleware can warn you about lazy loading/N+1 queries. Most of the time people just forget it happens.

Try using: https://github.com/har777/pellet

Self plug: Checkout https://github.com/har777/pellet to easily find and fix django N+1 issues.

I usually add it to existing integration tests so that they raise exceptions on N+1. If test coverage is low then I would suggest sending the N+1 metrics to something like datadog. That way your users using the product will reveal all the N+1 issues on your monitoring solution.

There is a package, https://github.com/carltongibson/django-template-partials, that is basically like server-side hex-select, when there is some performance concern. Overall, I agree with you though, hx-select is going to be fine most the time.
