Limits

Warning: Queries may be slow during periods of high write throughput or after a large bulk import.

turbopuffer can handle >= 10,000 writes/s (WPS) per namespace, but indexing cannot currently keep up. This causes high query latency while performing bulk imports. When write throughput decreases (<= 100 per second) the indexer catches up, and queries will be fast.

Most use-cases do an initial bulk import, followed by queries with lower write throughput (<= 100 per second). For this use-case, it's not a problem. We are actively working to improve this limitation.

There isn't a limit or performance metric we don't think we can improve by an order of magnitude when prioritized! If you expect to brush up against a limit or are limited by performance by an operation, contact us. Often can be fixed in days.
