I tried searching for an answer to this but couldn’t find anything. Sorry if it’s a duplicate question.

Can Glideapps handle 50k or 100k rows of data in one table? Would it be horribly slow (very little formulas) or work just fine?

It is very slow with data in Google sheets. Perhaps faster in Glide tables. Now it is not possible to bulk export large numbers of rows from Google sheets to Glide tables.( Some workarrounds in the forum).

Do not recommend more than 25 or 30k rows for a fluid app.

Hola,

Depending on your case you might use this option:

> Hola! It’s just a Proof of Concept which I wanted to do since a long time ago to know how reliable and fast a Google Sheet can handle a large amount of data and be used as an API to receive/send data frequently. As you should know, GS is not a native database therefore, some key functionalities (like an indexed file) don’t exist and can’t be used to improve the lookup speed. GS has the Filter() and Query() as tools to search data but it isn’t enough to make a lookup fast or optimal, both of th…
