Helping each other understand WUs and optimizing our apps

Deletes are a nightmare on Bubble. Always have been.

Hopefully one day that will change.

Exactly. This seems to be an implementation problem on Bubble’s side, yet we’re paying for it (both time and soon money).

Yes. Yes. Yes.

That’s the entire issue.

Is csv export now will be taxable as well?

Updated: No actually it’s not

Wow. Am suprised !

Oh, don’t be in a hurry. Workload stats are updated once in an hour at XX:00.
So check it now in App Metrics to make sure it’s ok :slight_smile:

You are right, sorry for misinformation it’s actually taxable. @NigelG

65 wu for 25 not that big rows, insane

I guess everybody that wants to export their data should do it before 18 month expired, otherwise millions of rows can cost you quite a bit.

Any idea why it’s not happening in real time? Is it so complex that requires that big of a delay?

For sure there are some tech reasons/limits but I hope they’ll sort it out and will allow us to check WUs in live mode.

A callback upon completion would be perfect.

Does a SPA consume more WU’s than separate-page apps as all pages are always loaded together?

Go to current page vs Go to certain page, is there difference in WU consumption?

Thanks

Created a new app, when added 1 user directly in database tab and now it shows that 4 wu was used.

Page load, Api, Fetching data.

0 page loads was made in that app and not sure what API here means since it’s not showing anything if you click on it.

Testing new WU costs after re-weighting.

Data structure:

  1. Data Type Project
    1.1 name (type = text)
    1.2 task (type - Task, is a list)
  2. Data Type Task
    2.1 Project (type = Project)

WFs:

  • create-1-task: create a new Task + add newly create Task to the list of tasks within the Project [wrapped in custom event]
  • create-10-tasks: 10 subsequent create-1-task custom events [wrapped in custom event]
  • Buttona A is clicked: 11 subsequent create-10-tasks

What are we testing → total cost of creating 110 tasks and adding’em to Projects list of tasks)

Results:

P.S. Additional test. In “create-1-task” Wf I’ve deleted second step that was updating a Project with a newly created task. So only 1 step left - create a new Task. Results:

My quick test of creating 10 things in the db was using 8.4WU for each thing, now it looks like is down to 1.1WU for each thing created.
Let’s see what will be the numbers on the live apps.


Are you getting some secret WU discounts from Bubble? :rofl:
I’ve seen people testing “Crate a new thing” action on forum and Twitter. Almost all of them have ~1.65 WUs per 1 created thing

@artemzheg the re-weighted WU calculations went live today. There are some very big differences now.

well, take it with a grain of salt. It’s not a proper benchmark with a meaningful number of tests.
The only thing is that it was the same actions made with the same unchanged app, performed from a fresh new page loaded in a private browsing window.
The absolute value does not matter, the difference is hopefully what matters.
The real test will be the next month of live app in production.

I love the picture you posted :grinning:

@Keith yep, the point is that @dorilama has different results while testing the same “create a thing” action.

Before re-weighted WU:

  • me (and some other bubblers who shared their results): ~13 WU
  • dorilama: ~ 8.8 WU

Delta: 32%

After re-weighted WU:

  • me (and some other bubblers who shared their results): 1.65 WU
  • dorilama: 1.1 WU

Delta: 33%
