"Boiling the Frog": How Tiny Changes Can Sink Your FileMaker Solution
Small changes, big consequences. At first, it’s just a simple tweak—maybe you add a new conditional format to highlight overdue invoices, or you adjust a privilege to limit access for a specific user. Then another change comes along, and another. Each adjustment feels harmless in isolation, but together they begin to weigh your FileMaker solution down. Actions that once ran smoothly now feel slow, layouts take longer to load, and your app feels sluggish. These incremental shifts are so subtle that, like the proverbial frog in slowly boiling water, you may not realize the danger until your solution is struggling under the weight of its own complexity.
Performance degradation doesn’t happen all at once—it’s the result of countless small decisions that accumulate over time. But understanding where things go wrong, and how to fix them, is the key to reversing the trend and safeguarding your solution’s speed and efficiency.
🧠 HOnza Koudelka takes us on a deep dive into these hidden pitfalls, uncovering how everyday tweaks impact solution performance. With clear examples and practical tips, he explains why conditional formatting, non-stored calculations, and privilege settings can become performance bottlenecks—and shows how to measure, diagnose, and resolve these issues to keep your solutions running at full speed
