Hola Tim The main problem with these cases (huge data) and Glide is the lack of client/server model and/or database pagination technique to manipulate this data. As you should know, Glide loads and puts entire data on your device and later, your APP works doing calculations, relations, etc. This is fine up to 20k-30k rows/registers but you need something smarter and more robust if your data is beyond the above limite. We talked about this and other things here: > [@Is Glide suited for developing open-ended data apps?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/is-glide-suited-for-developing-open-ended-data-apps/36631): > > I see developers creating open-ended data apps, like social media, messaging apps. What puzzles me is that when the app is used by thousands of users, the data alone would break 25,000 records. What then? You can’t remove/archive data to save on storage. Consider 1000 users posting 5 records per month. In 5 months, the app will have over 25k records. In view of this restriction, I find Glide apps only good for internal, mid-size data uses. Am I understanding this correctly? Saludos! --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-big-your-app-can-be/40676)._
