Hi guys, do you have an idea of what is the max. number of fields a document can have? I'm having a case of many dynamic fields (~40) coming from an object, since TS doesn't support nested structures yet. Performance wise, does it make a difference?

Not a problem, you can have as many fields as you want. Even if Typesense supported nested structures, those fields would anyway have to be stored individually: the engine will do the flattening operation instead of doing it externally.
