Mitigating (n+1) Query Issues with select_related() & prefetch_related() -> I find that the Django documentation does a better job at explaining the role of select_related and prefetch_related methods for query optimizations than most other resources. Check out the section where the doc explains how to use Prefetch object to further control the prefetch operation. It's crazy powerful.

However, a few things has changed since then and this post stacks Hash indexes against B-Tree.
