Retool DB response time

💬 Queries and Resources

Hey builders,

I noticed that since the beginning of September all retool db queries take much longer to respond. The default 10 sec time out used to be enough but suddenly all my users raised support requests because they were facing repeated time outs. I am now going through all apps and workflows to increase the time out (which is pretty painful) but I am worried that all processes will now become slower by these extended response times.

I am using cloud-hosted Retool version 3.271.0 on Business plan.

I am wondering if you are experiencing the same and if you or the retool-team can share some background on why this is happening and if it is something temporary.

I haven't noticed it, because I don't use the Retool DB, but I believe that in general Retool recommends you don't use the Retool DB for production workloads.

It's pretty simple to switch over to a cloud DB in my experience (I use Postgres DBs on Azure), for what it's worth.
