Hi,
As of today, how scalable is glide in terms of :-
Does it get progressively slower as rows exceed 10k, 20k, 30k and so on
Do Workflows which are working fine now, suddenly glitch randomly at scale(not triggering or omitting random data) when multiple users are triggering it?
Note : My app is on a maker plan and i’m using a combination of big tables and glide tables for my backend needs.
This question is of great importance to any person who’s relying on Glide for more than just prototype/MVP building, i.e. for a permanent internal tool that is built to last. @NoCodeAndy
Cheers!
I’m sure you can find your answer if you search, but my personal experience, If you are using more than 10K rows of data, big tables it the best options. I recently outgrew my app on native glide tables, and had to transition over to big tables, it was a few days work to make this happen and provide a seamless user experience. Today, I would only build with big tables as the main database source, then use native tables for some GUI components as needed. Since switching to big tables, the app is alot faster, and now I don’t have the issue of hitting a ceiling anytime soon.
Also my app is a business as well in itself, so to your last question, it is a permanent tool for me that I charge users to access.
