Confluence Database over WAN Link from Application Server?

[Matt Uebel]

What sort of latency threshold does Confluence have with respect to it's connection with it's database?

[Tim Wong · Accepted solution]

No posted threshold, but i'd recommend as low as possible. We do use the db quite a bit; any latency means you'll be tacking on that latency in multiples on many requests.

We do cache heavily, but that's no substitute for network fidelity. I would personally would shoot for under 20 as a max... under 10 would be better.
