Recently I ran into a performance issue loading a 100 GB exported_data folder. I waited for a little over an hour and it still hadn't finished, which seemed strange to me because loading 100 GB shouldn't take long at all given that we're just copying files.
Manually running the
docker compose up
command, I found that copying files to the Docker context was really slow, and so I rewrote the export and import to leverage .tar files, and the import process completed in about 5 minutes since it avoided the slow step of dealing with the large Docker context.
