Guardrails are thresholds that provide guidance for data and system usage, performance optimization, and avoidance of errors or unexpected results in Real-Time CDP. Guardrails can refer to your usage or consumption of data and processing in relation to your licensing entitlements.

IMPORTANT
Check your license entitlements in your Sales Order and corresponding Product Description on actual usage limits in addition to this guardrails page.

Guardrail types guardrail-types

Note that the two guardrail types across all Real-Time CDP areas and services are:

Guardrail type
Description
Performance guardrail (Soft limit)
Performance guardrails are usage limits that relate to the scoping of your use cases. When exceeding performance guardrails, you may experience performance degradation and latency. Adobe is not responsible for such performance degradation. Customers who consistently exceed a performance guardrail may elect to license additional capacity to avoid performance degradation.
System-enforced guardrails (Hard limit)
System-enforced guardrails are enforced by the Real-Time CDP UI or API. These are limits that you cannot exceed as the UI and API will block you from doing so or will return an error.
