Hello all,
This might sounds like a strange question, but here is the situation
I have a food delivery platform (5 apps with the same database) running on Adalo since few months, with around 50 collections/tables as my database, which will require a lot of work to move to Xano anyway.
things are fine with Adalo, I love it so much, but the performance is the only thing that is pulling me down.
the app usage is moderate, and I have few thousands records in tables here and there, and I have optimized the app performance to the most.
now few pointes are giving me the impression that moving to Xano wont be a game changer performance wise…
- Overall app performance is not affected at all by the increasing tables records, which means at this point that database performance is not the major factor in my app performance.
- The app is performing very very well on high end phones, specially IOS, and it starts to struggle on medium phones, and almost unusable on few years old phones, which is also telling that the main factor in performance here is the app frontend, interface, logic, services,… anything but not database, something is relaying on the devise’s processing power.
- Apps developed with Adalo does not feel snappy or instant even if the action is not triggering database action, just a simple button doing a simple thing will have some amount of delay in action.
based on the above points, I am sure that something is happening somewhere on Adalo’s stack causing most of the performance issues, maybe the way Adalo is translating app no code metadata into actual app, or still even after building an app it is still relaying on some services causing actions delays.
finally my question is coming from my belief that database is not the problem (at least at this point), and moving to Xano will not give me more that 10% of improvement maybe, so the effort of learning Xano and moving there wont be worth it
instead, moving out totally to full coding platform will be the ultimate decision, since any other no code will have its own problems as well, and unfortunately I don’t see that Adalo will have any major improvement at this point anytime soon
thanks
