Optimization Patterns

Fix N+1 Queries

# ❌ BAD: N+1 queries
for invoice in frappe.get_all("Sales Invoice", limit=100):
    doc = frappe.get_doc("Sales Invoice", invoice.name)
    process(doc)

# ✅ GOOD: Batch fetch with needed fields
invoices = frappe.get_all("Sales Invoice",
    fields=["name", "customer", "grand_total", "status"],
    limit=100
)
for inv in invoices:
    process(inv)

# ✅ EVEN BETTER: Single SQL query
result = frappe.db.sql("""
    SELECT si.name, si.customer, si.grand_total,
           c.customer_name, c.territory
    FROM `tabSales Invoice` si
    LEFT JOIN `tabCustomer` c ON si.customer = c.name
    WHERE si.docstatus = 1
    LIMIT 100
""", as_dict=True)

Add Missing Indexes

-- Check if index exists
SHOW INDEX FROM `tabSales Invoice` WHERE Key_name = 'idx_status';

-- Check query plan
EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM `tabSales Invoice`
WHERE status = 'Paid' AND posting_date > '2024-01-01';

-- Add index (via migration/patch)
ALTER TABLE `tabSales Invoice`
ADD INDEX `idx_status_date` (`status`, `posting_date`);

# Via Frappe patch (recommended)
import frappe

def execute():
    frappe.db.add_index("Sales Invoice", ["status", "posting_date"])

Implement Caching

# Cache expensive computations
@frappe.whitelist()
def get_dashboard_data():
    # Check cache first
    cache_key = f"dashboard_{frappe.session.user}"
    cached = frappe.cache().get_value(cache_key)
    if cached:
        return cached

    # Compute if not cached
    data = compute_expensive_dashboard()

    # Cache for 5 minutes
    frappe.cache().set_value(cache_key, data, expires_in_sec=300)
    return data

# Invalidate cache on relevant changes
class MyDocType(Document):
    def on_update(self):
        frappe.cache().delete_keys("dashboard_*")

Optimize Reports

# ❌ BAD: Fetch all then filter in Python
all_invoices = frappe.get_all("Sales Invoice", limit_page_length=0)
filtered = [i for i in all_invoices if i.grand_total > 1000]

# ✅ GOOD: Filter in SQL
filtered = frappe.get_all("Sales Invoice",
    filters={"grand_total": [">", 1000]},
    fields=["name", "customer", "grand_total"],
    limit_page_length=0
)

# ✅ BEST: Use SQL for complex aggregations
result = frappe.db.sql("""
    SELECT customer,
           COUNT(*) as invoice_count,
           SUM(grand_total) as total_revenue
    FROM `tabSales Invoice`
    WHERE docstatus = 1
      AND posting_date BETWEEN %s AND %s
    GROUP BY customer
    HAVING total_revenue > 1000
    ORDER BY total_revenue DESC
""", (start_date, end_date), as_dict=True)

Background Job Optimization

# ❌ BAD: Process all in one job
def daily_process():
    all_docs = frappe.get_all("My DocType", limit_page_length=0)
    for doc in all_docs:  # Could be thousands
        process_doc(doc.name)

# ✅ GOOD: Chunk into smaller jobs
def daily_process():
    docs = frappe.get_all("My DocType",
        filters={"status": "Pending"},
        pluck="name",
        limit_page_length=0
    )
    for chunk in [docs[i:i+50] for i in range(0, len(docs), 50)]:
        frappe.enqueue(
            process_chunk,
            chunk=chunk,
            queue="long"
        )

def process_chunk(chunk):
    for name in chunk:
        process_doc(name)
    frappe.db.commit()

Performance Checklist

1. [ ] Check slow query log for queries > 1 second
2. [ ] Verify indexes on frequently filtered columns
3. [ ] Check for N+1 patterns in list views and reports
4. [ ] Review background job efficiency (chunk large datasets)
5. [ ] Ensure caching for expensive computations
6. [ ] Check table sizes for unexpectedly large tables
7. [ ] Review SELECT * usage — fetch only needed fields
8. [ ] Check Redis memory usage and eviction policy
9. [ ] Verify no unnecessary frappe.get_doc() in loops
10. [ ] Profile specific pages/endpoints with cProfile
