Congrats! Question for the team as I see a possible discrepancy on the website.

The "Comparisons" page says there is no limit for number of indices (https://docs.meilisearch.com/learn/what_is_meilisearch/compa...)

However, the "Limitations" page says there is a limit of ~180 indices (https://docs.meilisearch.com/learn/what_is_meilisearch/compa...)

Can you clarify what, if any, are the limitations of # indices?

Thanks! Indeed we now have a limit, but this limit depends on the OS you use. The limit is 200 on Linux. We found a way to remove this limit in the next version of Meilisearch (v1.1), which will be released in approximately two months.

I would like to know the use case for needing more than 200 indexes. We have handled multi-tenant with a single index and multi-tenant tokens. https://docs.meilisearch.com/learn/security/tenant_tokens.ht...

Multi-tenancy is indeed the use case. Our current solution involves keeping each customer's data in a separate index. I'll review the link. Thanks!
