[ Challenge ]

A Retool App Freezing for Over a Minute on Every Refresh

Severe performance issues in the existing Retool app (1-minute+ load times on every screen refresh).
Inability to manage data from multiple backend systems in real-time.
Lack of granular access controls and poor scalability across multiple countries.

[ Solution ]

Building the Solution

The client's Retool app was freezing for over a minute on every screen refresh due to loading multiple datasets on the front end. Akveo designed a new architecture: data from different backend systems is normalized into a centralized PostgreSQL database before reaching Retool. Country admins can now build and manage their own apps independently.
