Performance Issues March 24-28 [MEGATHREAD]

jjj230 · 2025-03-28T17:55:11.469Z

Every time latency spikes on bubble’s own status page, we see performance degrade significantly in our app, which means operations time out and data simply won’t load.

It’s really concerning that the bubble team doesn’t seem to see that having database operations break repeatedly throughout the day is concerning.

Performance of the main bubble cluster has been pretty bad for the past week. Just look at those latency spikes for the month and you’ll see that something isn’t right with the main bubble cluster as of recently

the team needs some time to work through the engineering post-mortem when problems. Keep an eye on the forum for updates on what caused these issues and what the team is doing to prevent them in the future

Tanto no ambiente de edição/criação de banco de dados tanto no app rodando em live com pesquisas ao banco de dados está muito lento. Está acontecendo alguma coisa com o Bubble??

Olá Iury, tudo bem? Você já fez testes envolvendo limpeza de cachê no navegador ou similares?

iuryengmecanica · 2025-03-28T14:17:42.006Z

Olá magdielfeliciano
Não que eu me lembre.

Descobri de certa forma o problema.
Foi no próprio Bubble mesmo.
Tem como acompanhar o funcionamento deles por aqui: https://status.bubble.io/

Infelizmente, também estou sofrendo com os impactos da instabilidade.

Essa semana, perdi a chance de fechar com um grande cliente, pois justamente no meio da call de demonstração o Bubble simplesmente parou de funcionar. Foi extremamente constrangedor.

Além disso, perdi 3 clientes nos últimos dias. Sem dúvidas, um dos fatores foi a frustração da equipe deles ao utilizar o sistema e não conseguir acessar ou operar normalmente.

Como podemos ver, os incidentes aumentaram muito nos últimos 8 dias, e o mais preocupante é que a equipe do Bubble não entrega nenhuma resposta concreta. A sensação é de total abandono.

Caramba, meu medo agora é algo assim acontecer.

Hi everyone,
I need some help with my app.

It works fine at first, but as the user navigates through it (clicking on elements), the performance starts to drop significantly.

I recorded a video to show the issue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00_Uo2DV1sQ
From minute 1:50 onwards, you can clearly see the lag, especially when hovering over the navigation menu—it becomes noticeably delayed.

Here’s the sequence that seems to trigger the slowdown:

Open the app
Click on the “Clients” tab
Select a client from the list
Click on “Dashboard” to go back

Repeat steps 2 to 4 a few times <<

Has anyone experienced something similar or has any idea what might be causing this?

Your first port of call to investigate this is with the F12 developer tools. Use the performance and network tabs to identify the longest running activities. Whatever is taking the longest you should then monitor from scratch.

My suspicion is you have too much data being retrieved and cached in the browser, or you have a workflow that is “going rogue” and doing something you don’t expect. This is pretty common with bubble, since workflows might sometimes run synchronously but often run asynchronously and therefore can end up in race conditions.

Anyway, as above - I’d start with the F12 tools and see what you find, and report back here!

while using the dev console, I noticed that after the user finishes interacting with the app, several calls like search and mget still appear.
From what I understand, these are Elasticsearch requests

The more you browse, the more HTML nodes are drawn and for every change of the layout, it has to redraw everything, even invisible stuff.

There are style recalculations and other invisible things that consume CPU and Memory. You can open the performance monitor to see how it scales Performance monitor panel | Chrome DevTools | Chrome for Developers

Thats a downside of bubble SPA apps because they only add nodes to the entire layout and hide them, but not remove them if they are not visible

Anyone else’s apps been running really slow periodically all week? Currently my app is almost completely unresponsive.

starnapp · 2025-03-28T13:32:02.548Z

yes, same here. Were were down 2 hours ago and down again

michal.friedrich · 2025-03-28T13:32:53.451Z

Oh damn, here we go again. I wish they fix it fast, good luck bubble admins!

everythime there is a spike in the latency chart, we are down. In the last 24h, 4 times…

valentin_g · 2025-03-28T13:40:50.628Z

My app doesn’t work

starnapp · 2025-03-28T13:42:49.791Z

Status page says all systems operational but we are still down

valentin_g · 2025-03-28T13:43:44.916Z

Are there some bubble employees we can tag here?
