Need better scalability options for high-volume production apps

We are building a production app on Base44 and overall we really like the platform, but we are starting to hit scalability limits that are becoming a real blocker.

We understand and appreciate the reason for guardrails such as rate limits and bulk fetch caps. They protect app performance and prevent misuse. The issue is that for apps with real user growth, these limits can also become a bottleneck even after doing substantial optimization work.

In our case, we already:

• consolidated multiple frontend requests into backend data fetchers

• added pagination in the main heavy screens

• reduced redundant reads and invalidations

• cached global counters/stats

• simplified several expensive screens and query flows

• made some counts approximate where exact values were too expensive

Even after all of that, we still run into problems such as:

• 429 Rate limit exceeded during burst traffic

• lead/webhook ingestion affecting the rest of the app

• difficulty scaling admin/importer dashboards as usage grows

• architectural tradeoffs where we have to choose between correctness and staying within platform limits

A few areas where more flexibility would help a lot:

1. Higher rate limit tiers for production apps
   Especially for apps with real traffic, background processing, and webhook ingestion.

2. Better support for webhook/high-ingestion workloads
   If one burst of incoming webhooks can trigger throttling for the whole app, that becomes a major risk.

3. More scalable backend querying patterns
   The current bulk-fetch ceiling is understandable, but we would benefit from stronger server-side aggregation, counting, and pagination primitives so we do not have to choose between expensive scans and incomplete data.

4. App-level scalability plans or add-ons
   It would be great to have a way to move a serious app into a higher-capacity plan with clearer operational guarantees.

5. Better isolation between workloads
   For example, preventing one noisy flow like lead intake from degrading the rest of the app.

We are not asking for unsafe defaults. We are asking for a path for serious apps to grow on Base44 without hitting hard ceilings too early.

We would love to see:

• higher-capacity plans

• optional higher rate limits

• stronger server-side data tools

• better ingestion/webhook handling

• more explicit support for high-growth production apps

Base44 is excellent for building quickly, and we would really like to keep growing on it. A clearer scalability path would make a huge difference.
