Hi everybody! In the recent weeks, we’ve seen the demand for computation on ICP significantly increase. This is of course great news, but also leads to some challenges. We now see that there are quite some subnets that are running at or almost at maximum compute capacity. This means that canisters h…

I was actually using Candid Ui to run the endpoint. So its agent-js. But now i tried again with Staging canister which is controlled by me, its working fine. But SNS controlled canister : js5r2-paaaa-aaaap-abf7q-cai, still have problem and get failed when executing General proposal - 1100 on Boom D…

Hey Manu, I tested it over the weekend and can say that an update call takes more than 15 seconds, some even over 20 seconds. When can we get back to the 2-3 second like that Dfinity mentioned? [image] Web Speed | Internet Computer

Sadly, it’s the same for us. We’re on lhg73.

We use k44fs, and due to congestion, our Dapp user experience is so poor that our team dares not promote it on a large scale. We cannot receive a response, and we have also performed a timeout detection ourselves. We hope to solve this problem as soon as possible.

Hey folks, indeed some subnets are still experiencing some issues in the form of increased latency for update calls as some of you reported here (but significantly better than last week where a lot of messages would expire before being executed). The ones affected according to our internal metrics a…

Hey @Manu , thanks for the detailed post! As a developer, I’d like to know when we can start using the European Subnet again for CRUD applications. With an execution time between 3 and 21 seconds, it’s currently not feasible to replace an existing Web2 application on the Internet Computer. Could you…

I think the realistic answer is that we can’t guarantee that every subnet will always have a ~2 second update latency, because every subnet has bounded capacity, and if the loads grows big enough, it will exceed what the subnet can do and certain messages have to wait. I hope that the community wil…

Thanks for the information! We’re an Austria-based company, and GDPR is a significant concern for us. We plan to migrate several applications from Web2 to the Internet Computer. By law, we’re required to store PII data within the European Union — I’m sure you’re aware of that. To be honest, achiev…

As Manu said, the proper way to address this is with canister migration (ideally, along with some way for canister controllers to designate e.g. which canisters should stay together on the same subnet and which such groups of canisters should be hosted by different subnets; plus rules such as “only …

Please see this post which captures DFINITY’s view on next steps wrt heavily loaded subnets and ICP scalability.
