Stream: bulk data
Topic: Recommended Performance Metrics

We are currently investigating the technical requirements for supporting bulk data export. Since the IG doesn't provide recommended performance metrics, I was curious if there are performance metrics that other implementors are working towards and what are those metrics? For example: "Given X number of resources being returned we are shooting for it to take N hours."
It would be interesting to see if there is some general consensus around what an acceptable amount of time is to return a Bulk request.

@Michael Hansen @Lee Surprenant @Richard Braman - did you address this in your implementations?
Lee Surprenant (Aug 05 2020 at 16:43):
I think its really use-case dependent. To date, we've heard more stringent requirements on the import of data rather than its export. With that said, having some ballpark numbers can be helpful; these were the numbers we collected for our server the last time we tested it: https://github.com/IBM/FHIR/issues/1128

+1 to Lee, import performance is "never enough" but export gets virtually no requirements. I think any export in the thousands of resources per second should be enough for most cases.
