I've been busy working on a large number of performance improvements in Drupal 11.3 and contributed projects, together with @catch56 and many others.

Everything combined, we're seeing hundreds of queries less on complex pages. On one specific example page that we measured in a cold cache scenario, that's a reduction of 670 queries, 62% of the total queries. And that doesn't even include similarly reduced cache lookups and writes.

Performance improvements in Drupal 11.3 and Paragraphs

The latest release of Drupal core, combined with updates to Entity Reference Revisions, Paragraphs and other modules save hundreds of queries when rendering complex pages. This post goes through all the improvements that make this possible.

Can big tech please stop buying all the RAM? Render distance is already a mess!

I hope that this will boost the motivation to finally get rid of those baselines - one-by-one.

Luckily I opted for one phpstan baseline file per custom module when I introduced static analysis almost two years ago. Now I can use a simple glob to skip over the non-clean custom modules.

3. Skip any subdirectories with too many phpstan violations. Why? see: https://getrector.com/documentation/team-tools#content-2static-analysis

Thanks to a #dcruhr25 session I finally found a practical way to introduce #rectorPHP in a #Drupal project with a non-trivial amount of preexisting custom modules. Spoiler: skip most of the code base 🙈. More in 🧵.
