Questions about Speed at scale

What happens when a user asks for a very large data set?

Lists are served page by page and repeated views come from Redis, so the database is not asked to do the same heavy work again for every user.

Are dashboard figures live?

Dashboard figures are prepared in the background on a schedule, which is what keeps them instant. Case screens, inboxes and saves always work on current data.

Does a heavy report slow down people entering data?

No. Saves return at once and the heavy writing and counting run in the background, away from the people doing daily work.

What is Redis?

An in-memory data store used by many of the world's busiest websites. DynamicForm uses it to keep prepared results close at hand.
