Raphael, an Odooer since 2011, leads the team responsible for the server-side framework (ORM, HTTP/RPC controllers, tests), and Odoo-related tools (tests and runbot), being personally involved in the evolution of the ORM.

This talk proposes an advanced view of Odoo's Object Relational Mapping (ORM), aiming to help developers improve how they code using it. You will be shown and explained the choices made in the ORM's implementation, and how they can be used to optimize businesses' code in terms of readability, maintenance, and performance. You will learn about the improvements made in the framework for Odoo 14.0.
