Peaka offers an internal database for its users. We will call it the "Peaka Tables" in the new version.

The data stored in Peaka Tables will be calculated in byte units. DB Storage credits, available in GB units, define your storage limits. To store 1,500 MB of data, you must have at least 2 GB of DB Storage credits.

DB operations such as inserting a record will return errors in that case.

Whenever the system needs operations on the data in DB Storage, it will use Query Time credits. Every time the system executes a query, the time between the query request and the query result will be deducted from the Query Time credits. The smallest Query Time unit is milliseconds.

The system will not charge Query Time credits if you use your external databases through flows. The billing system will deduct from the Query Time units the time the system spends waiting for the external database. If you connect your external database to the Data Lake, you will only be charged for the time spent on Peaka systems.

File storage differs from DB Storage in that the former is the area used by the system when you need to upload files, such as documents, images, etc., from your apps. Even if you create file/image types in Peaka Tables, the system will store those files in the File Storage area. File Storage credits will be significantly more affordable than DB Storage credits.
