I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.
Verify Feature Scope
I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.
Problem Description
The admin panel and settings are getting very slow after adding groups,
I did a review in backend/models/groups.py and, and saw the following code in the get_groups function:
return [
GroupResponse.model_validate(
{
**GroupModel.model_validate(group).model_dump(),
"member_count": self.get_group_member_count_by_id(
group.id, db=db
),
}
)
for group in groups
]
It looks like this triggers a new database query(and connection) for each group in order to count members, which is very inefficient.
Desired Solution you'd like
get the groups member counts with one query
