Speeding up how fast data is written to baserow

[MutedJam]

Hi @Trash, while the Baserow node works similar to the Airtable node (processing only one item at a time), Baserow is based on PostgreSQL.

So I think for the best possible performance you want to connect directly to your PostgreSQL instance powering Baserow and handle the insert operation through the Postgres node in n8n.

Alternatively (if you’ve not yet decided which database to use), you could also consider using Supabase. The native Supabase node will be really fast compared to both Airtable and Baserow. I’ve tested this recently over here:

Looking for recommendations. I am creating a Telegram Form Bot and I need the best database service to integrate with N8N

Hi @anas, in my experience Airtable is relatively slow, both for search and write operations. I compared Baserow and Airtable performance recently by inserting 1,000 random records (with one text and one boolean field). This operation took almost thrice as long on Airtable: [image] This was on a free plan, I don’t know if Airtable offers better performance on their paid plans (in which case the results could of course look different). In addition, Baserow is powered by a regular PostgreSQL…
