Limits
We can increase certain limits if feedback suggests they are too restrictive.
Basins
Each account can create up to 100 basins.
You can pick a delimiter such as /
for namespacing streams within a basin. Streams can be listed with prefix filtering!
Records
- Each record may be up to 1 MiB in metered bytes.
- Batches may contain up to 1000 records, and cumulatively total up to 1 MiB in metered bytes.
S2 uses the following formula for metering record size:
Appends
- 125 MiBps per stream.
- 200 batches per second per stream per client connection. When exceeded,
Append
requests will receive an HTTP 429.AppendSession
will experience throttling.
Reads
Reads are highly scalable on both throughput and concurrency, due to S2’s decoupled architecture. The precise limits will be documented in the coming months.
Retention
Records may stay visible for a brief period after their retention window expires, typically on the order of minutes.
Maximum retention of 28 days is being enforced during the Preview period. We can enable retention by request.
Reconfiguration
Storage class changes (i.e. from Standard
to Express
, or vice versa) only take effect when a stream has been inactive for up to 10 minutes. This will become a live migration in future.
