RetoolDB Limits

Hey @Eriks_Reks - thanks for reaching out. You're right that we don't explicitly communicate a lot of the limitations associated with RetoolDB. We recently added the following blurb, but I'm happy to provide some more detail.

Retool Database is designed to be a convenient way to store data to use within or outside of Retool. It is not designed to be a highly-available, scalable database service, and you should use a separate managed database provider if your use case requires these guarantees.

In addition to the documented 5GB ceiling on overall storage space, we currently enforce the following:

  • Requests per minute: 1000
  • Dedicated compute: 0.25 vCPU and 1GB RAM
  • Connection count: 112

If you are connecting to the DB via the connection string we expose in the UI, I strongly recommend you use the variant that utilizes pooling! Let me know if you have any additional questions.
