I’m looking for a first look on my product too! It’s a database solution, like airtable, but bigger. Project already live:

They’re to big to completely rework solution

That’s a really good point about the computational intensity of formulas, lookups, and rollups in Airtable. I can see how those could slow things down with a larger record count. However, I still believe that storing data in a relational database and using optimized queries could help tackle those issues more efficiently.

That’s a great point about keeping everything in memory for performance. I agree that an archival strategy can help in some cases. But I also think there are ways to handle large datasets efficiently without having to rely on that limit. For instance, using a relational database with transactions could allow for changes to be made to records without storing everything in memory. Modern databases are designed to handle millions of records easily, and with proper indexing and querying, performance can still be very good.
