I started this little adventure in 2022 when google tables were the norm and Glide tables were becoming a ‘thing’. In the nearly 4 years later Glide table support has grown by…checking notes…..ZERO. 25,000 google sheet rows then….25,000 Glide table rows now.
At first I thought 25,000 was the limit per table when about 6 months into this venture I discover it was ALL rows in the App. Yikes. But the app dev team was moving forward swiftly so what could go wrong.
Fast forward 4 years and a Glide app based on a Glide table is still limited 25,000. How is that ‘Enterprise’? The original Glide ‘mantra’ “Put the power, beauty, and magic of software development into the hands of a billion new creators” didn’t mean 1B creators learning SQL integration?
If it was the hardware-related then why can’t Glide use/require bigger/more advanced hardware like an LLM does?
I am still baffled about these limits and if there is a roadmap on databases in Glide.
Is there any technical reason why a Glide app can not support 500,000 Glide Table rows within a single App with the the proper hardware sizing?
