After a recent switch to new server hardware, I've discovered that Nextcloud wasn't performing better than before although the hardware and software configuration got better by a lot which pointed to a bottleneck somewhere else. Because of my findings, I've decided to create a new FAQ guide how to improve the performance of your Nextcloud installation. You can find it here

Those files can be shared to other users or via public links. Everyone having access with write permissions to such a file can edit it collaboratively.

In the new Nextcloud 21 release was today a new High Performance Backend for Nextcloud files introduced. It attempts to solve the issue where Nextcloud clients have to periodically check the server if any files have been changed, new activities were created, or a notification was created/processed/dismissed, which increases the load on the server. By providing a way for the server to send update notifications to the clients, the need for the clients to make these checks can be greatly reduced, which reduces the load on the server and delivers notifications to the clients in some cases faster.
