So, I’m importing millions of rows in my system to a resource that has some fields (around 7 fields) that are embedded resources.

I’m inserting the fields using bulk_create with chunks of 10_000 rows.

I noticed that this operation was kinda slow, it takes around 36 seconds to insert the 10_000 rows.

I suspected that the issue could be because of the embedded resources, so I removed them and replaced with fields directly in the main resource.

After that, the same bulk_create call takes 6 seconds to do the same work.

So, it seems that a embedded resource creates a big overhead when inserting a bunch of data.

Zack, do you think there is something that can be done to improve that, or that overhead is to be expected?
