This page outlines the technical limitations and supported formats in the Mixpeek platform. Understanding these constraints will help you optimize your implementation and plan resource usage effectively.

Supported File Types

Mixpeek supports a wide range of file formats across different media types for both object storage and query inputs.

Best Practices

Optimize File Sizes

Compress files when possible before uploading to reduce storage usage and processing time.

Batch Operations

Use batch operations whenever possible to minimize API calls and stay within rate limits.

Implement Retry Logic

Add exponential backoff retry logic to handle rate limit errors gracefully.

Monitor Usage

Regularly check your usage metrics to avoid hitting limits unexpectedly.

Exceeding storage or rate limits may result in temporary service restrictions. If you anticipate higher usage, consider upgrading your plan or contacting support for temporary limit increases.

Need Higher Limits?

If your use case requires higher limits than what’s available in the standard tiers, contact our sales team to discuss custom enterprise solutions.
