S1E10: How to Load Sample Data to create a SharePoint Large Lists - Shar...

Here is something every SharePoint Developer should be doing. Performance is always great during the initial development, but what happens when the list or library reaches  a 1000, 10K, or even 1M items? Does your code still perform well?



Some of us may be trying to stay away from SharePoint Large lists of 100,000+ items because of the havoc they may cause, or the fear of performance issues that may arise. As I stated before, 100,000 items is NOTHING for a SharePoint list or library. Microsoft designed lists and libraries to host over 20M items and documents respectively.



SharePoint Large Lists are only concerns if we are NOT designed and performance tuned for large SharePoint list. It is inevitable that lists and libraries will grow over time in SharePoint. Inefficient custom solutions will start to rear their ugly heads. TO avoid these issues, we MUST code for large list during the development process and not the maintenance process.



In this video, we will walk-through the process of generating large SharePoint list using a data-generator.
