2024 week 33 - Rows vs. Sheets on QUERY() execution

Blog - easy!

This week we shipped an optimized QUERY() function at Rows. It's now *9x faster* than the same function on Google Sheets, on a like-for-like test case with 7800 rows.

We will continue to squeeze every bit of productivity we can! This is just one of many performance improvements we're doing at Rows.com. To be fully transparent, we're beating Sheets on only a few operations, QUERY(), FILTER() and a few other things. On most standard functions we're about the same, quite fast at 1-10sec. We will keep squeezing the performance where we can!

Every week I post about one thing that happened at Rows. We're building in public!

See you next week!
