Create Metric for Product Variations greater than recommended
DavidLambauer opened this issue · comments
Magento recommends having products with less than 50 variations to prevent possible performance issues. For example, a configurable product with more than 50 children is considered not recommended and should be avoided.
To keep track of those complex product variations, we should create a new metric named magento_complex_product_variations_above_recommended_level.
Where does this recommendation come from? That's a really unrealistic limit for most shops
The Magento Commerce Edition offers a Tool called SWAT(Side-Wide-Analysis-Tool). I actually don't know if this is a commerce feature or a cloud feature. Nevertheless, this tool offers a couple of recommendations for your shop and the one described in this issue just came up.
This is how it looks
I read the articles referenced in that post and funnily there are no words about that recommendation. Might be a non-public thing or so
SWAT is commerce cloud only. Thank you, that is... interesting!
Just found another page within the SWAT Tool referring to Soft-Limits.
I'd guess that these numbers come from some internal testings or so. It's definitely good to know and even better to track with Prometheus/Grafana.
