Quicksight Spice Capacity & data load

Could someone please help me with the Space or capacity it takes and what would be the approximate time needed by the Spice engine to ingest a dataset of 572 million rows and having 200 columns. I just need an approximate number as I have to do a initial data load with this much volume and post which I’m planning to do an Incremental load on a daily basis. It would be very helpful, if you could also share any best practices when handling with huge volume of data.

Hi @Sriselvaraj24

Please refer the below documentation this might be helpful for you.

Best Practices for Handling Large Data:

  • After the initial load, implement incremental refreshes to reduce the daily load size. Ensure that your data model is designed to accommodate these incremental updates efficiently.

  • Remove unnecessary columns, especially high cardinality string columns, as they affect performance. Consider splitting the dataset or using smaller datasets for specific dashboards if possible.

Hi @Sriselvaraj24,
It’s been awhile since we last heard from you, did you have any additional questions regarding your initial topic?

If we do not hear back within the next 3 business days, I’ll go ahead and close out this topic.

Thank you!
