Is there a size limit on apps?

Hi Ryan,
The applications themselves do not have a strictly imposed technical limit on their size. Instead what is more regulated is the size of a specific table, tables are restricted to 500 MB for performance purposes and as a table approaches that size there can be some technical issues. One thing to note for an application is that after 75 MB an application may no longer be able to be copied by the Admin and instead a Care case may be needed to have our Care team create a copy on our end. Also, the larger an application gets the more performance concerns and implications that application can have. More data, fields, and records can cause longer queue waits while tables/applications are loaded or searches are performed. I hope this information is helpful Ryan.

Those sizes do not include file attachments.
And as a reference... its about 1 MB / field with 100,000 records
Thats to say a table of 50 fields, and 100,000 records, would be 'about' 50 MB.
(this varies based on the complexity of the fields, summaries & values within the fields.)
Also a blank field still takes up space, the system still has to store a 'null' value. So if you have fields that aren't getting used, you can free up a lot of space on the big tables by deleting the old fields.
