Supabase Database
Hey, looking at supabase's pricing. The $25/month plan includes 8gb of database "space" and 100GB of database "storage". What is the difference between the two?

8GB is the size of the Postgres relational database... all your tables, rows, columns, etc.
100GB is the file storage space (currently s3) using the storage API for images and such.
I see, that makes sense, it is a little inconvenient for me though. I am working on a project that requires a large database (100s of GB). Does supabase offer anything that would help here?
Also, is there bandwidth/IO billing for the database?
https://supabase.com/pricing Seems like you have not looked there.
Both increase in database size, and egress bandwidth data (free limit then billing per) are shown. A 100 GB database would be the base 25 + about 12 (.125 per GB)

Ah, thanks for the tip. 2 questions:
- Does the database storage scale infinitely in theory? Or is there a limit due to hardware?
- What exactly is egress? Is it the amount of data that’s uploaded and downloaded? What if I were to query the average of every row of a column in a 100GB database, would the egress be 100GB?
Egress is only downloaded. The upper limit is the "disk" storage size in Amazon so I assume is very large. Now whether you need more memory and processor power to handle such a large table is a different question and depends alot on what you are doing with it.
