Sequin · Rate Limits

Sequin Io Rate Limits

Sequin does not publish fixed numeric rate limits for the Management API. On self-hosted deployments, throughput is bounded only by your own hardware - Sequin sustains roughly 50k operations/sec (~40 MB/s) in published benchmarks. On Sequin Cloud, sustained streaming throughput is governed by your plan's monthly change-record / data-volume allowance rather than by a per-minute request cap. Data-plane delivery (to sinks and via the Sequin Stream pull API) is controlled by per-sink configuration such as batch size, max concurrency, and backpressure rather than a global limit.

Sequin Io Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Sequin on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 5 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, operations, records, and messages.

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Change Data Capture, CDC, Postgres, Streaming, and Rate Limiting.

Limits

Management API Requests account
requests
not published
No fixed numeric request-rate limit is documented for the Management API.
Self-Hosted Throughput deployment
operations
hardware-bound (~50k ops/sec, ~40 MB/s benchmarked)
Constrained by your own infrastructure, not by Sequin.
Cloud Throughput Allowance account
records
per plan
Sequin Cloud meters monthly change records / data volume per plan tier.
Sink Delivery Throughput sink
messages
configurable
Governed per-sink by batch size, max concurrency, and backpressure settings.
Sequin Stream Pull Batch consumer
messages
configurable via batch_size
The /receive endpoint returns up to batch_size messages per request.

Policies

Backpressure
Sequin applies backpressure when a destination cannot keep up, rather than dropping change events.
Exactly-Once Processing
Change events are delivered with strict ordering and exactly-once processing guarantees, with ack/nack redelivery on the Sequin Stream pull API.
Backoff Strategy
Clients of the Management API and Stream pull API should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses.
