+== Index size guidelines
+
+To ensure optimal performance, follow these recommendations for sizing individual indices 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.
+
+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.
