[keycloak-dev] Scalability Problems with the admin console

[Gregor Tudan]

Hi there,

We are running a Keycloak instance with quiet a lot of realms (~400 and growing) and are starting to get into the dreaded scalability issue of the admin console (https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK-6096). I’ve been watching the issue for quiet a while now and you made it clear that this isn’t a top priority at the moment.

The issue is flagged with „Awaiting volunteers“ and I’d love to contribute.

The design proposed by the reporter sounds reasonable. There would have to be some changes to the whoami-API (which seems to be exclusively used by the console). The Realms-API would need pagination, which could be kept backwards compatible. There’s already a page in the admin-ui for realm-selection that we could add pagination to: https://service-e.tech.visualvest.de/auth/admin/master/console/#/realms

What do you think? Can I go ahead and give it a try?

Thanks,
Gregor
