Hi everyone. I'm a junior cloud admin at a research university. My team recently deployed SciSpace for about 50 PhD students across various departments.
We're running into two main issues I'm hoping you can help with:
1. **Performance:** When many users are active, document loading and the citation tool get really slow. Our instance is on AWS, but we haven't tuned it much. I'm used to Terraform for provisioning, but not for app performance. Is there a typical bottleneck? Maybe compute instance size or a caching layer we missed?
2. **Adoption:** The uptake is lower than expected. A common feedback is "it's easier to just use my old tools." Has anyone structured onboarding or specific workflows that helped researchers switch?
I'm a bit nervous about this being my first big rollout 😅. Any real-world config examples or scaling tips would be amazing. Even a basic Terraform snippet for a recommended SciSpace backend setup on AWS would give me a place to start.
```hcl
# My current basic setup for the EC2 instance - probably too simple?
resource "aws_instance" "scispace_app" {
ami = "ami-12345678"
instance_type = "t3.large"
subnet_id = aws_subnet.private.id
tags = {
Name = "scispace-production"
}
}
```
