Too much orders?

[hectorromo]

Hi, and first of all nice plugin! :)

I’m moving a clients site to Kirby and Merx. The thing is that their site has more than 10 000 orders, and I’m wondering if it can be too much if I put all the orders under the same folder from a performance-perspective. The orders will of course only be for internal use so there will not be a lot of requests on that. So my question is if you guys have any experience of sites with a lot of orders or any suggestion of what could be best way to handle this, like storing orders in db.

Thanks

Unfortunately none of our online shops has more than 10 000 orders (yet). So I can't give you a definite answer on this.

Your question does not only relate to Merx. Since Merx orders are Kirby pages the question should be, can Kirby handle 10 000 pages. As far as I know Kirby can get slow if there are many direct children. But there are ways around that. For example you could group orders in subdirectory. E.g. 2020/05/abcxyc/order.txt

Apart from that. I think as long as these orders are not queried, 10 000 order pages won’t affect the general performance of the site.

Let us know when you've tested it.

Thanks @tobiasfabian. I'll try it out :). Closing this since it's more related to what Kirby can handle.

Update: So, I've migrated the site to Kirby and Merx and must say that I'm surprised. I have grouped existing orders by month. Some months have up to 1000 orders, and it still works good. Good job wagnerwagner for making an easy and flexible plugin.
