Hi Owen. Sorry you went through this. We continue to make investments under-the-hood. We have a lot to share about this at Empower and have also had a handful of improvements recently released.
That being said, we are able to contribute to a fully scalable ecosystem. We put significant effort into this area. At the bottom of that article is a link to something our best practices team wrote on the best ways to share data. We see the most important part of preventing your situation as getting builders the right information early on in the process. The miss on our part was that you didn't have any of the information up front about cross apps and guiding principles around app structure.
Cross apps are a powerful tool, but they force Quick Base to share resources because of our unique in-memory database architecture. So this is a trade-off we want to empower folks like you to make by having the right information to make educated decisions and we will be there to support you through the journey.
