⚡ Bolt: Optimize getPlaylistWithSongs with innerJoin

💡 What: Refactored getPlaylistWithSongs in server/storage.ts to use innerJoin instead of a 3-step fetch process.
🎯 Why: To remove an N+1 query pattern and reduce database round trips.
📊 Impact: Reduces DB queries for playlist fetching from 3 to 2 (1 for playlist, 1 for songs).
🔬 Measurement: Verified with pnpm check to ensure type safety. Code review confirmed the logic is sound.

Summary by cubic

Optimized getPlaylistWithSongs by replacing the N+1 pattern with a join-based songs fetch. This cuts DB round trips to 2 (playlist + joined songs) and preserves insertion order.

  • Refactors
    • Use innerJoin between songs and playlistSongs with order by playlistSongs.id ASC.
    • Select getTableColumns(songs) for clean rows.
    • Remove inArray import; add asc.

Written for commit 7e62997. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Refactor
    • Optimized playlist song retrieval to reduce database queries, improving performance while maintaining the same functionality.

Replaced the N+1 query pattern (fetch playlist -> fetch IDs -> fetch songs) with a single join query.
This reduces database round trips and ensures consistent ordering by playlist_songs.id.
Also cleaned up unused imports (inArray) and added explicit `asc` ordering.

Summary of Changes

Hello @Krosebrook, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the performance of fetching playlist data by optimizing the getPlaylistWithSongs function. By consolidating multiple database queries into a single innerJoin operation, it eliminates an inefficient N+1 query pattern, leading to fewer database interactions and a more streamlined data retrieval process for playlists.

Highlights

  • Database Query Optimization: The getPlaylistWithSongs function in server/storage.ts has been refactored to use an innerJoin operation, replacing a multi-step fetch process.
  • N+1 Query Pattern Elimination: This change effectively removes an N+1 query pattern, which previously involved fetching playlist song IDs and then fetching each song individually.
  • Reduced Database Round Trips: The number of database queries required to fetch a playlist with its songs has been reduced from three to two, improving efficiency.
Changelog
  • server/storage.ts
    • Refactored getPlaylistWithSongs to use innerJoin for fetching songs, replacing the previous three-step process.
    • Removed inArray import and added asc import from drizzle-orm to support the new query structure.

Pull request overview

This PR optimizes the getPlaylistWithSongs method in the storage layer by replacing a 3-step query pattern with a single innerJoin operation. The optimization follows the same pattern used in getLikedSongs, reducing database round trips from 3 to 2 (one for playlist metadata, one for songs).

Changes:

  • Refactored getPlaylistWithSongs to use innerJoin instead of fetching song IDs then fetching songs separately
  • Removed unused inArray import from drizzle-orm
  • Added asc import to support ordering by join table

const songsList = songIds.map(id => songMap.get(id)).filter((s): s is Song => !!s);
.innerJoin(playlistSongs, eq(songs.id, playlistSongs.songId))
.where(eq(playlistSongs.playlistId, id))
.orderBy(asc(playlistSongs.id));

The ordering should use playlistSongs.addedAt instead of playlistSongs.id to maintain semantic correctness and consistency with other queries in the codebase. The playlistSongs table has an addedAt timestamp field specifically for tracking when songs were added. Using the auto-increment ID works but doesn't express the intent as clearly.

Compare with getLikedSongs (line 143) which orders by songLikes.createdAt rather than the ID field. Ordering by timestamp fields is the established pattern in this codebase for chronological ordering.

Code Review

The pull request successfully optimizes the getPlaylistWithSongs method by refactoring it to use an innerJoin. This change reduces the number of database round trips from three to two, which is a significant improvement in efficiency. The implementation correctly maintains the insertion order of songs in the playlist and ensures type safety by using Drizzle's getTableColumns utility. The removal of the unused inArray import also keeps the codebase clean.

Comment on lines 160 to 171
const playlist = await this.getPlaylist(id);
if (!playlist) return undefined;

const playlistSongRows = await db.select({ songId: playlistSongs.songId })
.from(playlistSongs)
.where(eq(playlistSongs.playlistId, id));

const songIds = playlistSongRows.map(r => r.songId).filter(id => typeof id === 'number' && !isNaN(id));

if (songIds.length === 0) {
return { ...playlist, songs: [] };
}

const songsResult = await db.select()
// Optimized: Use innerJoin to fetch songs in a single query instead of fetching IDs then fetching songs
// Ordered by playlist_songs.id to maintain insertion order
const songsList = await db.select(getTableColumns(songs))
.from(songs)
.where(inArray(songs.id, songIds));

const songMap = new Map(songsResult.map(s => [s.id, s]));
const songsList = songIds.map(id => songMap.get(id)).filter((s): s is Song => !!s);
.innerJoin(playlistSongs, eq(songs.id, playlistSongs.songId))
.where(eq(playlistSongs.playlistId, id))
.orderBy(asc(playlistSongs.id));

return { ...playlist, songs: songsList };

While the current refactor is a great improvement (reducing queries from 3 to 2), you could further optimize this into a single database query using a LEFT JOIN. This would eliminate the initial getPlaylist call and handle both the playlist metadata and its associated songs in one round trip.

Example approach:

const rows = await db.select({
  playlist: playlists,
  song: songs
})
.from(playlists)
.leftJoin(playlistSongs, eq(playlists.id, playlistSongs.playlistId))
.leftJoin(songs, eq(playlistSongs.songId, songs.id))
.where(eq(playlists.id, id))
.orderBy(asc(playlistSongs.id));

if (rows.length === 0) return undefined;

const playlist = rows[0].playlist;
const songsList = rows.map(r => r.song).filter((s): s is Song => !!s);
return { ...playlist, songs: songsList };
