Description
To do:
Investigate default display of process models.
Question:
Does displaying all processes as thumbnails affect performance.
Flow:
1. I open the create modal
2. I see all process definitions displayed as a thumbnail diagram
3. I can select my desired process
Cawemo solution:
"What we had was a Lambda function in Amazon's AWS which converted the XML into a PNG image. The image was stored in some place and then used in our front end, which was not ideal.I think the performance and reliability were quite bad, because this was a third-party service and the process of generating images is usually rather slow.
IMO, the best solution would be to use SVGs instead of PNGs. The advantage here is that the bpmn-js library has a method to generate these SVGs out-of-the-box, meaning that we don't need to find a solution and can rely on that. Performance-wise this has to be tested, but at least in Cawemo we use this method to download SVGs and it's quite good for single diagrams."
