Hello @d.pearce

Alternative approach to the Bubble’s recent tutorials for list of things

Hello everybody, I’ve taken a look at some tutorials from the following topic: In short, I think that these tutorials contain some crucial mistakes. Regarding How To Build A Pinterest Clone Without Code Configure your database User [image] We’re facing this mistake on many apps. That’s a wrong approach since it negatively affects performance and speed. Let me explain why I do think that this is wrong. The Bubble’s unique id for each thing looks like the next one: 1583401182457x36677…

Performance Q&A guide

So some overall guidelines. Note that these kinds of guidelines definitely have a sell-by date, since we’re always trying to optimize slow stuff, but here are some of the big performance levers: The more data a search fetches, the longer it takes. That probably sounds pretty basic, but we routinely see pages that fetch thousands of data items on page load. Or, we sometimes see searches that only fetch a few things – but each thing has KBs or MBs of text data stored in its field. Bubble …

RG vs "Search for" (performance questions)
