Limits
Altertable implements both soft and hard limits to ensure optimal performance and resource management across the platform.
Soft Limits
Altertable's pricing tiers include soft limits on the following resources:
- Storage: 50GB, 500GB, 5TB
- Agents: 10, 50, 100 agents
- Concurrent SQL Sessions: 3, 10, 50 sessions
- Data Time Travel: 7, 30, 90 days
These limits provide predictable pricing while maintaining flexibility for growing analytical workloads.
Hard Limits
Altertable enforces two hard technical limits that cannot be exceeded:
Memory Constraint
- Ensures system stability and prevents resource exhaustion
- Contact us if your workloads require additional memory capacity
Scale Constraint
- Full scan on large tables (>750GB) – Altertable is not yet optimized for large tables
- We're actively working on improvements for terabyte-scale operations
Exceeding Limits
Soft limits can be exceeded through usage-based billing. For hard limits, please contact our team to discuss custom solutions or roadmap timing.
