Love me Django and excited about this release. It’s been quite a journey through the years. I started working with it a little before 1.0 and continue to do so. Nowadays as an independent consultant which gives me the ability to really help keep Django systems up to date.

Yes, there’s some rough edges. Like updating can be tricky sometimes, and performance relating to DB queries is a skill in itself, but in general it’s a great framework to build most web software out there.

What're some DB query performance issues you've run across in the past and how did you resolve them?

I assume they are referring to the default behavior of the ORM fetching all fields for a model by default, and the frequent need to use select_related/prefetch_related to group your queries into larger ones that are (usually) much faster than making many small queries for related tables.
