Retool Database usage and limits
Learn about Retool Database usage and limits that apply to cloud-hosted organizations.
Cloud-hosted organizations can store the equivalent of 5GB of PostgreSQL data, with unlimited tables and rows. The amount of storage space your data uses is dependent on how many records, fields, and tables you use, and the size of values. If you exceed your storage limits, reach out to Retool to request a limit increase.
For cloud-hosted organizations on the Free plan, Retool automatically pauses the Retool Database service after one month of inactivity. Any existing connection strings will no longer work. Once you start using Retool Database again, updated connection strings are available.
Data redundancy
Retool Database uses multiple levels of redundancy, which include daily backups of all data in a PostgreSQL cluster managed by our cloud provider. Retool retains each of these backups for 7 days. Retool recommends implementing a secondary backup process that stores and retains data for a longer period of time as an additional guardrail.
If you have any questions or would like to know more, contact Retool Support.
Staging data
Any changes you make with data in Retool Database cannot be reverted. Retool recommends using multiple environments with staging data to avoid accidental loss of data.
