How is GitLab still this slow?
- badrequest 7y agoIt's a Rails app trying to load hundreds of different bits of data (emojis, comments, votes on comments, etc.), I'd honestly be more surprised if it were quick.
- thenewnewguy 7y agoGitHub loads similar data and is also written in rails, but long GitHub PRs/issues are significantly faster to load.
- dijit 7y agoIt’s probably hammering the database right now. These kind of things, by nature, are difficult to cache because the balance between “fresh” new content and how often they are accessed leans heavily towards having it served from the backend directly.
- ericmcer 7y agoResources are cached, lightweight JSON that dictates how to lay those resources out is fresh, doesn’t seem tooooo difficult
- swagonomixxx 7y agoRuby on Rails backend, I think.
- heartbreak 7y agoGithub is also RoR backend, and it's not this slow.
