ORM may initially provide a comfortable development experience, but its efficiency diminishes when dealing with a user base as small as 10,000. The slowdown becomes noticeable, especially with multiple joins or lengthy logic. In my personal experience with Laravel PHP projects, I opted to move away from ORM.
While direct SQL introduces challenges, such as data marshaling between JSON and objects or the serialization and de-serialization process, using query builders like Medoo PHP proved to be a wise choice. These tools are lightweight and alleviate some of the burdens, allowing for a smoother development process.
However, in situations where extensive processing is required, like generating invoices for over 10,000 users, employing stored procedures becomes a preferable solution.
Your experience highlights that there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Choosing between ORM and direct SQL depends on your project's specific needs and performance requirements. Query builders and stored procedures can be effective alternatives for certain situations.
