In this episode, Sam sits down with Chris, Solution Architect at dear digital, to unravel one of the most common questions Odoo users face: “Why is my system running so slow?”

Together, they explore the technical structure behind Odoo, breaking down how the Python server and PostgreSQL database work together, and why the database might not be the real culprit.

Chris explains how poor custom logic, overloaded cron jobs, and under-provisioned servers often have a bigger impact on performance than the database itself. They also dive into how Odoo handles data with its ORM, why joins in reporting can slow things down, and what smart solutions, like background reports or better cron scheduling, can make a real difference.

From system architecture to caching, this episode is packed with practical insights for businesses scaling on Odoo or simply looking to improve performance.
