Bar chart loads too slowly

[javierlaborde]

I have an Airtable base with a table with ~50k records, linked to a ‘Students’ table, so around 10k students and each linked to 5 records in my ‘Chart’ table, all this in order to organize my data so Softr can render a bar chart like this:

Original record from ‘Student’ table:

Auxiliar records from ‘Chart’ table:

Rendered chart from ‘Chart’ table data:

Problem is, it takes for ever to render the graph, literally around a minute. The Softr app is linked to my Airtable base thru a PAT token which should make things go a bit smoother. Any recommendations on how can I have this working with more decent waiting times?

Airtable charts with big tables is indeed slow given API limits… this will change in 2 months as we are applying new data caching layer

I am building a data dashboard with a large number of charts, and one of the main issues I am facing is the long loading times. Came across this post while trying to find ways to improve that. Has anything changed or been implemented since April? Or any future plans you could share? Thank you in advance!

We are moving into sync mode I expect end of month to be done then it will be 10x faster
