Insightly’s product development team has been hard at work improving our infrastructure, so you might have noticed that Insightly’s apps—both web and mobile—are running a lot faster. The geeky details: We refactored our backend using an abstracted service layer to separate our data store and presentation layers. Wow, that was a mouthful!
Without further getting into the technical details, here are some highlights of how these changes improve your experience with Insightly!
Faster response
Under peak loads, Insightly is now roughly 250-300% faster on average. So, when you access Insightly in your browser, you’ll get it in about a quarter or a third of the time than before. Below is an actual graph of our application’s performance throughout one day. The dotted grey line indicates response times prior to our update and the blue line is after our update. As you can see, our application can perform almost five times faster.
Faster mobile apps & API
On average, Insightly’s APIs and mobile app access are roughly 500-1000% faster. If you’re accessing your CRM data from our mobile apps or current API (version 2.2), you’ll get them much faster than you did before. In this graph of our API’s performance, the dotted grey line is the response time prior to our update and the blue line is after our update. You can see our mobile apps and API perform almost 10 times faster in some cases.
Improved reliability & stability
Because our system infrastructure has been re-architected, it runs a lot more smoothly. By reducing variability in response times makes things more predictable. As a result, our operations and development teams can better plan for growth in data from Insightly’s many new customers and your many growing businesses.
This is all pretty technical, but it is truly a major change that helps us stay ahead of the needs of our customers. With a faster CRM and even more new features coming your way, Insightly keeps getting better to make your business more productive and successful.
