Почему CRM в Битрикс24 тормозит на 50К сделок и что с этим делать

Когда CRM в Битрикс24 начинает открывать список сделок по 10 секунд, обычно первым делом подозревают сервер, нагрузку или саму платформу. Но на практике узкое место часто лежит ближе к базе: фильтры по UF-полям без индексов, лишние JOIN, неявный LIKE в ORM, N+1-запросы и обработчики, которые внезапно превращают массовое обновление в нагрузочный тест. В статье разбираем, как подойти к проблеме системно: включить slow query log, прочитать EXPLAIN, найти реальные причины тормозов... Read more
