Hi Jenni. By themselves, Automations are performant and we have put significant effort into improving the infrastructure and scalability of those over the past ~6 months.
Since we use our own APIs as a best practice, we also have to consider the performance of the Quick Base app itself. That means designing the Automations carefully to not do something like add/modify/delete/copy huge amounts of records all at once while your application is heavily being used by users. While it is always good to design for performance, by and large, most people do not experience any performance issues in Quick Base, let alone in Automations.
