Hello! I am creating a social media application and I would like to know if the adalo database can support 100,000 users who post constantly. Is 50 gb enough or do I have to buy more space? ---

A lot of people will use external database like Airtable to handle things like this. ---

You can do the relationships in airtable but adalo external database component AT THIS TIME don’t understand that conection. So, no you cannot do that. In the users side i have 3500 users, and its laggy. But the team are doing some changes. Hope that soon we have a improvement ---

Thanks for the reply. I understand now what the database is all about. My only solution is to stay with the internal one. ---

I hope Adalo will solve the database scaling issues soon, as our apps begin to gain more traction. It would be a shame to have to rewrite the apps to scale up, Adalo is such a great tool! ---

Airtable allows for 50,000 rows max with the pro plan don’t know if it’s possible to get more if you contact sales…
