Eager Loading

Eager loading is a technique used in data retrieval to load related information at the same time as the main data, rather than retrieving it separately. This approach reduces the number of database queries, leading to faster and more efficient data access. For example, if you're accessing a list of blog posts and want to see each post's author details, eager loading fetches all posts along with their authors in one query upfront, avoiding multiple round-trips to the database later. This improves performance, especially when dealing with related data that would otherwise require separate retrievals.
