Workflow Performance Issue - Constant Saving

💬 Workflows
1

This is a new issue, appearing as of Monday.

When I am working on a workflow, it seems to be saving with every keystroke. Which wouldn't be an issue if it didn't cause the entire workflow to freeze for 30+ seconds every time I so much as add a line return to a script. Building an application doesn't seem to be having this issue, so it appears to not be a network or system problem.

I have replicated this issue in both Chrome and Edge.

Hi @_tylerB, welcome to the forum! :wave:

Are we still experiencing this issue?

Hey Paulo,
Yes it's still an issue, but it seems to be across the system.

Accessing the Retool cloud DB seems to be incredibly slow as well. Whether through a query or in the resources view.

We haven't found other reports of this issue.
Here are a few questions to get more context on what could be causing this:

  • Is this happening on Cloud or Self-hosted Retool?
  • Could you share the specs of your computer?
  • What Chrome version are we on?
  • How many Chrome tabs are open at the same time?
  • How many extensions do we have on Chrome?
  • Could you share a screenshot of the Workflow? (Feel free to DM it to me if you prefer)

Try clearing Chrome's cache and cookies, disabling all extensions and plugins, updating Chrome, and closing all other tabs.
