Performance Profile

#performance_profile

Typical read and write throughput, payload size and processing latency.

Read Performance Profile

Throughput: Varies greatly based on query complexity and data volume (e.g., thousands of time series points per second for simple queries, lower for complex aggregations)

Payload Size: Varies greatly based on query scope and time range (e.g., KB to MBs for typical dashboard queries, potentially GBs for large exports)

Processing Latency: Typically 100 ms - 5 seconds for dashboard queries; longer for complex, large-scale analytical queries (e.g., 5-30 seconds or more)

Write Performance Profile

Throughput: Up to 200,000 data points per second per project (for custom metrics); higher for built-in metrics

Payload Size: Individual metric points are small (e.g., a few bytes for value + timestamp + labels); aggregated into larger batches for ingestion

Processing Latency: Typically 1-5 seconds for data to become visible in dashboards/queries after ingestion
