Which database has the fastest synchronization speed with AppSheet?

 

Hi everyone, I have a question about synchronization:

For those of you who have tested various options:

Which database has the fastest synchronization speed with AppSheet? I’m thinking it might be AppSheet DB, but I’m not sure. Could someone create a ranked list of synchronization speeds for some of the most commonly used databases? I considered posting this in Tips and Tricks, but since I don’t know the answer, maybe it’s better to leave it in AppSheet Q&A so it can help everyone make decisions.

Could you arrange the following list in order:

- AppSheet Database
- SupaBase
- MySQL
- Google Sheets
- Excel
- Etc.

Thank you!

From my experience:

  • MySQL / Supabase / Any Cloud SQL
  • GoogleSheets / Excel

I bet there's a lot of efficiencies that have been put in place to make AppSheet Databases the fastest; which is sad, because it's the poorest developed of them all.  Full disclosure: I have no experience with ASDB, but everyone I talk to says it's fast - and cumbersome/difficult to work with.  Those that have given it a real try have all, every single one I've talked to, switched away after a week or so because of how difficult, under developed, and clunky it is to work with.

Your license type also determines how many degrees of parallel processing you have:

  • Starter: 2
  • Core: 4
  • Enterprise: 10

When you combine a SQL instance with an enterprise license, you get really fast loading times - the best you can get.  This is how you squeeze the most juice out of it, that and security filters and efficient app build strategies.
