I don't follow. Perhaps there is something within the limitations of the
ORM layer that I am not expecting. If you have this view-

"last_user_event_2"

SELECT u.*, e.*

   FROM users u

        JOIN LATERAL (SELECT *

                        FROM events

                       WHERE user_id = u.user_id

                         AND user_group = u.user_group

                       ORDER BY timestamp_inc DESC

                       LIMIT 1 ) e ON TRUE


And you execute a query like this-
SELECT * FROM last_user_event_2 e WHERE  user_id = 1272897 and user_group =
19117;

Then I would expect very good performance.
