Managing Complex Product Combinations and Attributes at Scale in PrestaShop

Four attributes on one product. Nineteen values on the first one, eight, eight and three. That equates to 3,648 variants of an item, and it’s no mere hypothetical: a merchant reported exactly this on PrestaShop’s issue tracker, across 30 products and over 100,000 database rows.  Their product pages timed out, and the back office returned …
