Bulk create speed question

General
1

I’ve yet to try out Backendless but have a question before I try to build out.

How is Backendless bulk creation/modify with speed? Let’s say I need to create 10k new records with only a couple text fields, how quickly could Backendless actually accomplish this? How stable is it? Will records be dropped in the creation process or is it reliable?

Bulk creation works transactionally. If there is a failure, the entire operation will be rolled back.

Thanks Mark, any chance you have an answer on the speed of creation for bulk? Let’s say 10k records 3 text fields. Are we talking a few seconds? Minutes? Hours?

Hi Chris,

In the cloud version of Backendless, the bulk create API can save up to 100 objects in a single call (the Managed and Pro versions do not have this limitation). I did a test with 10000 objects (saving in batches of 100) and it took 35 seconds. Here’s my test page (created with UI Builder), you’re welcome to play with it:
