About This Talk
Django’s prefetch_related system is great and makes it simple to fetch the data you need in an efficient manner. Taking a look at how Django implements this can actually help improve your own code!
In this talk, we’ll do a deep dive into Django’s implementation of prefetch_related. We’ll then look at ways to make use of that knowledge including:
- Avoiding common pitfalls when working with prefetched data.
- Defining our own descriptors which can be prefetched.
- Composing and manipulating
