Some serializers or associations are simple enough to use ActiveRecord's pluck function to retrieve objects. pluck is much faster than retrieving objects with plain ActiveRecord.
I created a gem, Plucker Serializer, that uses this technique to improve performance. It also has built-in single object and collection caching.
Benchmarks show that plucking can improve memory consumption and throughput, especially for large collections.
Adding custom type casting and using Oj::StringWriter like Panko does in addition with this technique could really boost performance in my opinion.
