Hey everyone! I'm just starting to explore Udio for some personal projects, and I'm super impressed with the quality so far. But I'm coming from a data engineering background, so I keep wondering about the actual performance metrics behind the scenes.
I've been generating a bunch of 30-second clips, and the wait time feels variable—sometimes it's almost instant, other times I'm staring at the progress bar for a bit. I know the interface shows "generating" and then "processing," but I'm curious what the real end-to-end latency is.
Has anyone done any proper benchmarking from the moment you click "Generate" to when the file is fully downloaded? I'm thinking about things like:
- Average time during peak vs. off-peak hours
- Impact of song length or style complexity
- Whether using the mobile app vs. web changes things
I'd love to see if someone has run a script to track this over, say, 100 generations, and logged the timestamps. I'm used to instrumenting ETL pipelines, but I'm not sure how to approach it for a web service like this without violating terms.
If there's no existing data, would anyone be interested in collaborating on a simple, respectful measurement project? Maybe we could share findings. I could probably whip up a Python script using Selenium or playwright to simulate clicks and measure, but I want to be careful not to spam their servers.
Thanks for any insights or pointers! This kind of performance data really helps me understand the practical workflow.
