Hi there,

Could Bubble handle large datasets? I need to build an app and my current database is 50k records so far, and is going to grow by 20k records every month.

Would Bubble be a good solution for this, or would I hit some limitation? Should I look into using Microsoft SQL (maybe on Azure?)

Thank you for your help!

Hello,

There shouldn’t be issues with such dataset. Bubble uses Postgres for the database (also SQL) which scales well.

While you can use another backend, you lose a few things doing so (like real time updates, in particular). So if you can use Bubble it’s better.
