Unstable, very crash prone with just a few users designing 10 plus pages. And a huge memory hog too.

I run it on Dedicated server with 64GB Ram , it starts to lag as soon as a 5-6 pages and memory 20GB, lagging out the whole team and then crashes.

Figma is a huge memory hog, too...

Figma has become absolutely shocking in the past few years. The performance is so bad these days. It doesn’t help that almost every designer doesn’t care to split things into more than one document. I’ve seen Figma documents with hundreds of screens.

That’s how these tools encourage you to use them. If the tool crumbles under its own usage modalities, that’s because it’s poorly designed, not the user’s fault.

You don't need to split into multiple files to make large documents manageable, multiple pages works just fine (pages you're not using aren't loaded). But even still, I have absolutely massive pages with ~100 screens on them that work just fine on this base-tier M2 MBA.

Honestly given the complexity of the screens involved I feel Figma's performance is pretty reasonable. (Now, library publish and update - that's still unreasonably slow IMO)

I'm sure if the original developer bothered to show up again he could fix it in a weekend.

Figma can handle unlimited amount of screens in one huge canvas

On the server side or the frontend side?

[v3ss0n]

What we tested is both. It start to choke on Browser and then server side.
