Hi, thanks to both for your answers. I could see that it was a round trip problem, and it’s good to know you’re aware of it. Despite trying really hard, the latency made it unusable.

Also IIRC, there was way more than 2 round trips .. I think my UI made a few (GraphQL) API calls and they appeared to be serialised, so it really was in the order of 1-2 seconds for a page to load. This was 18 months ago so both my memory and your implementation might have changed since then.

In terms of using retool, unfortunately that particular ship has sailed for me, but I’ll be quite happy to reconsider it in any of my new projects once you have a solution that is a couple of hundred light-milliseconds closer :)
