Laravel Query Builder: Optimize Your Database Queries

Laravel's query builder provides a fluent interface for creating and running database queries. Here are some optimization tips:

Use Select to Limit Columns

User::select('id', 'name', 'email')->get();

Eager Loading to Prevent N+1

$posts = Post::with('author', 'comments')->get();

Use Chunking for Large Datasets

Post::chunk(100, function ($posts) {
    foreach ($posts as $post) {
        // Process post
    }
});

These techniques will significantly improve your application's performance.
