New Builds VERY Inefficient

Closed

SUMMARY FOR OTHER USERS: DO NOT USE THE NEWER BUILDS, IT COSTS TOO MUCH PER RECORD. SEE ATTACHED SHOWING WHICH BUILDS ARE MOST EFFICIENT. ALSO DO NOT USE EXTRA MEMORY AS IT WILL COST EVEN MORE!

I have a scheduled nightly run and the changes to the actor basically bankrupted my account.

I ran a test on all available builds with the same URL, and attached are the results.

The suggestion to increase memory size only increases cost.

It is not sustainable to be paying over a $.01 per record. If anything, it needs to be much lower cost than this.

I would recommend you revert back to the methodology in 0.0.66.

Hi! Thank you for the summary. You are right that the costs increased unfortunately (due to heavier tools being used) and the recommended memory seems to work well for location queries, but not so well for the single URLs. We are currently working on a new build where we will address these problems and the costs should be more sustainable again. Good that the older builds work for you, but unfortunately they don't work for everyone - the biggest reason for the change was that prices were not returned anymore and that is a crucial for most of our users. Work in progress, fingers crossed please!
