Currently Vulcan just displays a long list which is not ideal. However in the Firebase Dashboard we do implement a solution for this. The approach I took there was to truncate the list at 1000 items and display something like [3,332 more items...] as the last node. When you click on the last node it displays another 1000 items, etc. Adding search to the existing implementation would be ideal.

When you open a node there is not network request, there is an open socket connection that data passes through.

Its usually not necessary to display all items in a 10k plus list as there is generally no use case for a user scrolling through a list that large. Search and showing a truncated list that renders efficiently would be a good approach. Ultimately the problem we are tying to solve is helping a user find the data they are looking for. hope that helps.
