Here it is a little after 3PM California time, and about 15 minutes ago the performance in my app just flat-lined. This is not an uncommon experience for me in the late afternoon. Today it’s earlier than usual.
I am the only user of this app. In my estimation it is not a resource-intensive app, but I frequently do a lot of searching of my database using the ZQ Fuzzy Search and Autocomplete plugin, aka Search&Autocorrect. In most situations, I am searching through a list of 153 objects identified in a List of Objects field in the one thing that is the content of the page.
(in this page, List is a thing of data type “List”, not a list as Bubble thinks of a list.)
My concern today isn’t about the details of what I am searching or why I am searching it the way I am. My concern is getting to understand why it would perform beautifully for hours and then suddenly stop producing search results at all.
How can I find out what caused Bubble’s servers or my browser or whatever to stop performing?
Where are the indicators that I used up too much of something, what I used up and what it means in terms of changes I should consider in my app design or workflow implementation?
Again, there are only 153 things in the List of Objects being searched by the Search and Autocomplete plugin.
The top two graphs are what will show you if you’re maxing out capacity… and clearly you’re not (CPU usage is barely even above 2 or 3%) - so I don’t think capacity is your issue.
Are you on a personal plan, or professional and above?
If you’re on personal, my understanding is capacity is shared with others, so you could be impacted by others
If you are on professional, capacity should be reserved for you.
Regardless, may be worth reaching out to Bubble support.
(I don’t use the plugin you reference, but if it uses external resources, then the problem could be there, not bubble).
One other thought… does your whole computer and internet slow down, or just Bubble searching? I’ve had times where my computer boggs down at the same time every night, likely related to something Windows is doing.
I’m not sure how to reach out to Bubble support except as a bug report, or possibly mention in a post like @josh@emmanuel@nick.carroll
This isn’t something I’d classify as a bug, although it is odd behavior, and the whole topic of capacity is not well documented as far as I know.
My computer is pretty substantial, and rarely ever slows down due to Windows updates or other unexpected activity. When I experience the app problem, there is no sluggishness in any other Windows process.
Hi, you can email support@bubble.io and explain the problem. They are good about responding. If you aren’t hitting capacity and the app grinds to a halt, then there’s a problem somewhere. Let us know what you find out.
