== Index size guidelines

Please note the following recommendations for sizing individual indices for optimal performance on {es-serverless}:

|===
|Use case |Maximum index size |Project configuration

|Vector search
|150GB
|Vector optimized

|General search (non data-stream)
|300GB
|General purpose

|Other uses (non data-stream)
|600GB
|General purpose
|===

For large datasets that exceed the recommended maximum size for a single index, consider splitting your data across smaller indices and using an alias to search them collectively.

NOTE: These recommendations do not apply to indices using Better binary quantization (BBQ). Refer to {ref}/dense-vector.html#dense-vector-quantization[vector quantization] in the core {es} docs for more information.
