Hey ​@JoeMontibello this post has some time now. But surprisingly enough I am not using HyerDB with my clients. I thought this would be a game changer, but the experience was not great in my opinion.

Would love to hear other experiences/thoughts.

​@JoeMontibello, ​@Mike_AutomaticN,

HyperDB sounded really great when first brought up by Airtable, having millions of records sounded like finally a way to properly scale operations specially in enterprise. The issue is that hyperDB is essentially a sync from a large database into your Airtable base. You still are restricted to the same 100k record limit per table. You are not able to properly analyze all the data at once. 
 

What I was hoping from HyperDB was an improvement to actual record limits. I think record limits need to be re-evaluated because even at 100k records, an interface dashboard page performance can be extremely slow and borderline not usable. 
 

Still curious if anyone has found a good use for it so far

Yeah, for people who are looking to quickly work with millions (or billions) of records at lightning speed, I would recommend using Apple's FileMaker Pro, the enterprise-grade (yet consumer-friendly) database app that has almost no limits at all.

I used to be a certified FileMaker expert for nearly 30 years before becoming a top Airtable consultant, so if anybody needs a FileMaker expert to help them get started, feel free to reach out to me through my website and I can put you in touch with some great developers:
