Maximum number of questions simple-qa can hold

[Janina Mae Verzosa]

Hi! We want to know if the macro has a limit on the number of questions and if you conducted any load/stress tests on it.

Dear janinja013,

thank you for your request. Technically there is no limitation. We tested Simple QA with 500 questions without any issues. In case you need more just let us know. We are more than happy to extend the test.

Kind regards

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

We are going to deploy it on a 3000+ wiki user base. Is it possible to test it with 10,000 questions?

Thank you!

Dear Janina,

thank you for your answer.

May I ask what kind of setup you have in mind? Do you want just one topic meaning just one Simple QA overview page holding that 10000 questions or do you plan multiple topics e.g. on space-level or even below? Unlike the other available the primary intention of Simple QA is to have multiple isolated topics. The company I'm working for (beside that business here) is having multiple topics for quality management, training, IT tools, development etc.

Background: having 10000 questions in one topic (under one Simple QA Overview page) currently is too inefficient resulting in a negative user impression as Simple QA loads all questions into the overview. Of course this is changeable if required. Currently I would say that a realistic maximum number of questions per topic is 1500 (tested). The number of topics however is unlimited.

KInd regards

Hi Andreas,

I think we are fine with 1500 questions.

Thanks!
