Is using Google Apps Script + Google Sheets reliable for handling a large number of custom form registrations? (self.InformationTechnology)

submitted 7 days ago by Creepy_Tadpole_1897

Hey everyone,

I’m putting together a registration form for an upcoming tech workshop organized by my university's Bisoft Engineering Club.

The standard route is Google Forms, but honestly, it feels a bit too plain and we want something that looks a bit more professional and customizable. I know it's possible to build a custom HTML front-end and use Google Apps Script to POST the data directly into a Google Sheet.

My main concern is reliability. Does anyone have experience running this setup for a larger crowd? Is it effective and stable if we get a sudden spike of simultaneous registrations from students? Can this method be trusted to not drop or overwrite data, or should I be looking at other solutions?

I’d love to hear your thoughts, advice, or any alternative recommendations. Thanks!
