Do you have to fetch the latest “x” of each record?

One example of this problem is trying to get the latest comment on a list of posts, but there are others, like the last review in a list of products, or the cheapest price, or the latest payment for each costumer, etc…

I want to share with you the code I used in the post 5 ways to fix the latest-comment n+1 problem.

You can use it to run the examples and play with the code and seed values, to pick the right solution for you current case.
