From f50f875ee515c5e4b7fda37f3eb1c124d5a6ff4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eeshu-Yadav Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2025 10:49:33 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] [fix] Optimize SQL queries for notification storm prevention #383 - Implemented bulk notification creation using Django's bulk_create() - Added bulk_check_notification_storm_and_unread_count() function to perform aggregated queries instead of individual COUNT queries per recipient - Added bulk_notification_update_handler() for efficient websocket updates - Reduced SQL queries from 3*N to 1-2 total queries for N recipients - Preserved all existing functionality including email notifications - All tests pass with significant performance improvement Closes #383 --- openwisp_notifications/handlers.py | 38 ++++- openwisp_notifications/websockets/handlers.py | 140 ++++++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 155 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) diff --git a/openwisp_notifications/handlers.py b/openwisp_notifications/handlers.py index b2aa04cf..de7388de 100644 --- a/openwisp_notifications/handlers.py +++ b/openwisp_notifications/handlers.py @@ -31,8 +31,6 @@ logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) -EXTRA_DATA = app_settings.get_config()["USE_JSONFIELD"] -
