Hi, I'm noticing a huge difference in query run times between mobile vs desktop. I built my mobile app on the desktop and see 100 database queries only takes a few seconds, but in mobile it takes over 10x longer. Why is there such a big difference?
Hey @Jay_Jiang,
A lot of difference is coming from the hardware specs.
Are you testing web app on mobile device vs mobile app on mobile device ?
mobile app on mobile device. So are you basically saying Retool mobile apps will perform much faster on the latest iPad pro vs a 3 year old smart phone? I didn't know it mattered since it was all in the cloud
Backend processing and database operations happen on the cloud. However, UI rendering, animations, and logic (JS query, transformer, etc) are still handled by the device itself. A newer iPad Pro, with a more powerful processor and better GPU, will render interfaces and transitions more smoothly compared to a 3-year-old smartphone.
