🌟 Eloquent tip If you need to insert or update a whole bunch of records in a loop, don't use `Model::updateOrCreate`. Instead, use the `DB` facade's `upsert` method to use your database's built-in upsert functionality to do the whole thing in one query!

#Laravel Eloquent Tip 🔥 You can use 'save' and 'saveMany' methods for adding new models to the relationships.
