Scalability and Performance

Overview

Build a Doc is designed to handle document generation workloads at scale while maintaining consistent performance.

Tip

For practical optimisation tips, see Handle Errors in Flows for retry logic and Error Handling Patterns for rate limiting strategies.

Performance Considerations

Document Complexity

• Larger documents with many template expressions take longer to process
• Complex loops and conditionals add processing time
• High-resolution images increase document size and processing time

Data Volume

• Large data sources increase binding time
• Consider filtering data before sending to the action
• Use pagination for very large datasets

Subscription Quotas

Different subscription tiers provide different quotas.

Please see the portal for current plan limits.

Rate Limiting

To ensure fair usage:

• Requests may be throttled during high-volume periods
• 429 errors indicate rate limiting
• Implement retry logic with backoff

Best Practices

1. Optimise templates - Keep template complexity reasonable
2. Filter data - Only send necessary data to actions
3. Batch wisely - Balance batch size with timeout limits
4. Handle errors - Implement retry logic for transient failures
5. Monitor usage - Track quota consumption in the portal
